I've also been getting those ads that yell, "CONGRATULATIONS!" at me.

Just letting you know, EviLore, my bro.

Just got it 5 minutes ago. I won't bitch about it if it helps with the down servers. :/
 
Just about to make this thread. Has happened to me three times today, very annoying. Is this because my GAF gold subscription is almost up?

I got one today too. It took a while for me to realize it was coming from a gaf tab

No, bitch about it, they aren't supposed to be there. Something funky is going on with these rectangular ads showing up in the top ad slot all of a sudden, having the ad rep guys check it out.

Oh ok, I was about to retract my prudish, sorta entitled statement. But I'll bitch all day if that's the case.

Yeah, Evilore has never liked ads that are annoying or distracting or if they're doing something they shouldn't then you should let him know. He's always gone out of his way to fix them, he hates them too.
 
I've been getting that 100,000th visitor one for a few days now. Was just about to get a hold of someone about it after I got some Starburst talking ad

I just had two tabs open, both had video ads on the top and bottom.

It was like a barbershop quartet of shit. Starring AirWick, A&W, Toyota and something I couldn't hear over the other three.

Yeah I have had to take my headphones off while browsing GAF lately because of these. There is one that is super loud as well and scared me out of my chair the first time it started talking to me. :(

I'm getting the same sort of thing, with one for Myer (Australian department store) appearing probably 3 times today. It outplays with sound, and it doesn't 'fit' within the ad box, either, so you can't actually see it or control it in any way.

Oh dear...

Yeah, I've had a few. I also had two ads that opened up new pages. One for browser-fast.com and Erasedebt.ca, or something like that.
