Is that a reply to someone's post?
Because if it isn't (and it doesn't really look like it).. I have no idea what you're talking about.. I guess I'll find out soon then ;)

That's nothing...

But since it's a somewhat different problem than your guys', I went ahead and made a new thread for it here.

The ad on the sides seems to be linking to a banned (or deleted) youtube account.

Today I was viewing images on a mod page, and I went to look closer at one by clicking 'view original'. The image got bigger, however, the flashing, square ad on the right was still on top of it. Refreshing the page and viewing other mods images still produced the same results.

Also, I don't really mind the flashing ads (when they aren't covering up other images -_-), but a few days ago there was an ad which slowly went in and out of focus. I was trying to read a big section of writing next to it and I couldn't concentrate on it. The ad actually kinda gave me a headache...

If it helps, both of these ads are those 'white teeth' ads.

l4d skin can go to hell.

It popped up on my screen saying i was infected.

gtfo.

Im also pretty tired of seeing/hearing Dragon Age on every page. I also skip watching videos b/c of it. I already bought the game. Can I be exempt from these ads? :/

The video system is broken I am aware of this. It isn't forever we are working on changing videos because at the moment those ads you should only see once, but are seeing many times.

It's been that way ever since I registered on ModDB, just so you know.
Every single video has an ad right before it....it's crazy.

No disrespect to ModDB, but I have to agree the l4d2 add is just awful every time you click something there is a delay on my computer (older computer) a big gob of crap in the middle of the screen "you've been infected" ....not cool. I cant really surf the site cuz I cant stand it. What were the makers of the ad thinking...

edit: now that I have accepted the moddb cookie it has stopped doing it every time.. :/

Well to clarify when I had cookies denied from the site is when it happened every time. 
Additionally, the ad should fade down to black or gray, yellow  all the way down the site is kind of obnoxious in my opinion.
Right now it feels like its a website on an advertisement instead of an advertisement on a website.

i just had an ad that minimized my screen and tried to pull a fake virus scan on me, then tried to get me to download something

Apparently I'm the 1 millionth guest at this site.

The ads are getting ridiculous.  I usually turn ad block off on sites that I visit a lot, but in this case, ad block is going on, the ads are far too annoying / invasive.
