    I thought supporting members didn't get ads.

    We've talked about our recent problem with ants over the past week and now I'm getting ads and spam email for terminex. Big bro, if you're listening- yoga pants.

    Any Yukoners in the house?

    A very handsome local political-type used to be lead singer and bassist for a metal band.

    He's running in the next election and his banner ad first showed up at the top of the "best look for bassists" thread.

    I guess you'd have to be here...

    I prefer the targeted ads. They remind me to buy stuff I may have forgotten about after getting caught up in life stuff. Better than random ads.

    I fail to see the problem. Those would be among the most pleasant ads I could see.

    Browser adblocking extension is a God sent. I use either Ublock Origin or Adblocker Ultimate. Both are really good and can be used in Edge, Firefox and Chrome.
