Not really, but sort of. Many sites that provide free hosting for AnimeSuki insist on providing these ads to defray the cost of this hosting. It is free for us, so we don't have to pay any attention to those costs. (There are some costs that GHDpro pays for out of his own pocket, but these mirrors are provided by others.) If you use a server that doesn't have ads, we really don't notice any difference except for less load on the main server.
We never see any of the hosting bills or a penny of the advertising money, but the existence of those ads does let us stay in existence.

True, but the existance of those intrusive popup adds deters one from caring to ocme back to the site, specially if they are the type that visits dozens of times a day, in quick 2 or 3 second bursts just to scan for new information I have nothing against the ads on topbars and sidebars, whatever it takes to keep the site up, its the giant popover ones that take up the entire screen that just piss me off. |

Yep, they piss me off as well. And here we have a new one:
Note how it obscures the dropdown link menus, as is the wont of most of these 'screw you I'm displaying on top' type of ads. edit: forgot to mention, I'm using Opera and that ad can't be closed, the 'x' doesn't do anything at all. |

Yay, another intrusive ad. It scrolls inside it's own window, and has no close button (in Opera that is).

It's just that it shows 2 nice examples of an ad that gets removed, making it look really nice. PS: the Naruto section here is starting to look like theirs >_> Too much 12yo kids who think they're cool because they make 10 threads for 10 different "Which Naruto character are you quiz" they found. |

Kamui - thanks, I normally filter stuff anyway, but I've only just reinstalled windows so I don't have everything tweaked to how I like it yet. Since I saw the ad I thought i'd post it here. Thanks anyway

Sorry for double post but edit won't highlight the thread to new content.

i've just had this very annoying ad again, seems to be back in the rotation (or never removed? I haven't checked the site in a long time thanks to the RSS feed ). Same as before, it focuses on the ad completely, the dropdown menus open behind the ad, and it can't be closed. Still using Opera of course |

Hm... I've never gotten an ad like any of you are describing.
In fact, my page is devoid of every add except this very tiny ad banner below the title. I think all of you went somewhere that tagged you (cookie mabye), and spyware is hounding you because i'm getting no pop-up ads caught by the blocker or anything. Or something that got you all before I signed up. |

I use Opera, which is all but immune to spyware. The very few minor bits I get (registry entry here and there if I'm really unlucky) are killed by running Spybot and Ad-aware, not to mention regular virus scans. So no, I don't really think i've got a problem with spyware.
I'd understand your reasoning if I still used that insecure POS Internet Explorer. |

I sometimes wonder why AS continues to use these ad providers 'services' when their ads are so damn intrusive.
Yet another one, different to the others I have so far seen. http://www.narcess.net/junk/anotherad.jpg |
