If you seriously want to report a misbehaving ad, post in the DaniWeb Community Feedback forum. If you're just complaining, I'm with you, man!

More fun to play whack-a-mole with ABP. I type in my magic spell and poof the ad disappears, sorta like tilting at windmills not much accomplished but fun. Later---

Tell you what you pay my $45 until job cranks back up to full time check. Then I will pay full freight. Anyhoo back in real life I'll make my self as useful as possible, because feel good doesn't pay for roof & family. Not grumping just stating facts. Later---

Yeah but for some of these guys in here, $45 is probably only a little over an hour of work. Hardly breaking the bank.

My hourly wage is about £9.50 (About $14) and after I have paid bills/rent/other commitments, I have about £80 a week to live on.
I definitely do not fall into the group you describe :P

Yes, if a company does that with their ads I generally avoid them (Th ads, as well as the company)
I don't want my browsing interrupted by those annoying flash pop-ups :P

Why not talk about personal life? I never understood why just because it's online people think they can't say anything personal at all. There are limits, of course, but why would you care what anyone has to say if you know nothing about them? (This is more a random thought that you prompted than something directed at you.. lol)
Anyway, he didn't say what was included in his "600 USD" so he probably has to buy groceries with that, etc. And the original topic of this thread is pretty much toast. You shared your feelings on it, and most everyone agrees that the ad is intrusive - there isn't much more to talk about.
