I will stop visiting AC until that obnoxious expanding Verizon advertising is on the site

[CrazyRussian007]

That thing is not only obnoxious, but it is hell of disruptive - just because it is soooo in my face and prevent me from clicking on the topics I want to view - I will not visit the ad and I will stay away from AC until that moronic banner is there.

Have some boundaries guys. What next? Drop by toolbars? Spyware?

Not cool.

Am I missing something, or do you mean until it's no longer there? How will you know when it's gone?

i have to say the drop down ad at the top of the screen that moves your whole screen down is really annoying, you adjust for it moving everything down and then it decides to move everything back up so you have to do it again, first world issues here!

But i wouldnt go so far as to see "im not coming back until" lol

I use AC from my phone 99% of the time. It's really convenient and doesn't have ads. Just do that if you can't stand ads.

The implementation of the Verizon ad is VERY annoying! Come on AC!! It scrolls down. It scrolls back up. It makes browsing extremely annoying.

I don't mind the advertising, but it should detract from the experience.

While I won't stop visiting the site, I agree it is very annoying. Ads are understandable as they are how the site makes money. But an ad causing everything to migrate up then down is ridiculous.

The Verizon ad is irrevocably annoying but threatening to leave AC will likely get you nothing besides folks opening the door for you.

If you use Firefox, adblock + let's you choose what to block. Or just use Tapatalk on your phone.

Yes, I understand that the ads are the necessity and money for the site and editors - I agree - that's one of the reason I dont use an AdBlock BUT the aforementioned Verizon ad that scrolls the entire screen up and down is just a bit too much. This kind of ads one would expect on some warez, cracks & serials, and porn sites - not AC. I would never support and click on that freaking thing - no way. Just out of general f**** principal.

Thanks to all for the comments - there are some witty ones

I hope AC keeps some class and refrains from stuff like this. But, I can only hope

Don't forget to add Yahoo to that list. They have the worst home page ads ever.

I agree that ad is annoying. When I first started to experience it, I thought my browser was bugging out since it would scroll down more after I scrolled down then scroll up once I got it repositioned. Very poor design of the Ad.

I must pay extra...I have no idea what you are all talking about.

It's gone now

Can't this site be considered tech porn?
