What's with this stupid US Post Office / Kraft video ad that keeps taking over my page. I cant scroll around to update or read anything because this dumb add keeps popping it back up to the top. I hate dumb crap like that. As such, I'm going UPS or Fed Ex, and Kraft can stick their damn mac-n-cheese... you know where. Screw both of those companies. Please remove this stupid ad from your site. I've donated to the cause here, but this is unacceptable advertising.
I'm very sorry to hear this. Give me a few minutes and I will take care of it.

Ah.. advertising. That stuff is complex and if handled wrong it has an opposite effect. US Post Office / Kraft seems to know what to do to attract customers :).

I've got adblock but these ads are regardless physically preventing me from scrolling up or down. Advertisement programmers are satanists.

Yeah, Adblock does really well! Get it, highly recommended!

Consider disable adblock for T/O. I disable adblock for sites that i want to promote, and so far T/O has not delivered advertising that would get me to block them. (Im not from US so the US Post office ad we are talking about aint showing here).
Also, yeaGO be careful what advertising you are showing on your site. Many people have the same thoughts as me, as long as the ads are not distracting we will disable adblock. Never flash ads, never any takeovers, keep animated ads to the minimum. Keep it in places where its not disturbing. If you want people to accept the advertising you your site you need to keep it acceptable :).

well to those people who really hate ads I hope you will consider, instead of AdBlock, the Supporter Upgrade. I do my best to keep my ads tolerable but its not exactly always easy to manage, especially in a world of complicated chains of ad networks. I am working on it, though.
