No! No! Nooo! Anything but this! It happened to me that, 5 seconds after opening the front page, a window-size ad popped-in. I know about this sort of ad from blogspots and stuff, but up here, where the main interest is to read reviews and navigate the site, this pop-up ad is already an annoying and exaggerated one.  -------------

I have some ad restrictions, mostly set through Mozilla, but apparently this one is a bigger one to fight. I'll definitely use Adblock, if it happens, but my point also touched a different view... -------------

Seriously, just use Adblock. It takes like 10 seconds to download, hell, maybe 5 seconds. Easier than complaining about an add, that will easily go away with an easy solution. -------------

I guess M@X is immune from the red spam box of doom. One of the perks of running the site.
