Extra Advertising on this site Annoying?

So this stupid new ad box pops up now where the categories should be, forcing me to scroll down to choose a new category. Personally, I never ever ever click on pop up ads on sites like this or on my mail page or home page. But apparently, someone is clicking on these ads or they wouldn't keep putting them there. But who??? Are you clicking on ads on your home page, mail page, or here? And if yes...WHY?????

    Hi art psycho,

    Thanks for pointing this out. The tall ad ended up on the site by accident. Answers doesn't normally use these tall ads (as they push the category choices down). When we noticed the problem we removed the ad from circulation.

    I agree, it's out of control. Ads are totally out of control in our society as a whole, just look at MLB.
