Last night i had difficulty moving around the forum, and it got stuck by the advertising box on the side bar! I just saw the header "advertising" and from there on it took forever to load!
But if you're referring to the ones at the bottom, it wouldn't bother me, but my loading times are however longer now!

And how is it now?

the bottom ads are fine, I have the same loading times! Not accurately to the second, but its the same as before the ads existed!

If you guys need to have the ads - makes good business sense !
Why not place it on the right hand side of the homepage below
the NET PLUS ad...

They have already, and it slows my page loading times. Get it?

edit: OOPS, you said homepage!

When the ad is in the sidebar in the forum, it slows my loading time! But if its on the homepage it wouldn't bother me at all, as its a once off thing!

I have the adblock extension for firefox installed, so any advert just doesn't load for me. So I don't mind at all

So do I! But the adblock doesn't block the Ad at the bottom of this page from appearing, does it?

Um where?

I don't see a ad/

*Opens up IE to go have a look - Sees the ad and closes IE* Oh that Ad

- Yes adblock does block that ad

*Shudder* I hope i never need to open that again
