While obviously ads generate revenue to run the site, some of the current banner ads are giving me some navigation issues, and at least one tried to give me a pop-up window (the banner showing was a Verizon ad I'd never seen before).
Nav issues: Clicking the back button didn't seem to work, using the dropdown menu to go back to the main board even took two tries to get there. It was like I'd gone to the NY board six times in a row and had to click back through each one.
While I don't personally object to Jessica Simpson gyrating in the banner, those ads seem to be of a fairly mature subject matter for a site that gets all ages. I can see where a parent might have concerns about that content being only a click away - particularly when one comes up inviting you to check out a "horny" Britney Spears (it's interesting to note that Ms. Spears name is blocked from actually being posted in a forum message, too). I'm also sure those sites are loaded with malware, popups, links to actual porn, and so on.
Also, the RIT show and R&GV banners haven't come up once this morning, or any of the other rail related ads.
