That Mellow Yellow Ad

[lnx64]

You know, normally advertisements don't get on my case, but the mellow yellow one does. Not only is it because of that ad, I can't load this site at work, but I honestly don't need to have a picture of some shirtless hairy guy with a cow mask and yellow stuff, on my screen all the time i visit this site.

There's an "X" mark above that ad, just click it and problem solved.

It used to be an attractive young lady, then someone had to be all "hurr durr, I'd do her" and it was switched.
This is why we can't have nice things!

I didn't notice the hide button, but at works, it's the the fact that it is still downloaded is what the problem is, so there's no way to view this site until that ad is completely gone.

Sometimes the annoying and stupid ads make our online activities very inconvenient. No way!

That ad is why we have this site! Don't forget Hando set it up with his company's permission!

 

[Javacat]

That companies site has vanished now and the ad just links to a holding page. This site would be a million times better and more active if they brought back the girl, even if it does link to a dead site.

@op

Have you tried directly going to some subforum or a post? The ad is only at the front page. Why not send yourself an email from home with direct links to what you need? Or am I missing something obvious?

Tried it, because the site already has been flagged, i can't access the domain at all.. IT told me that if the ad is removed then access will be restored.

Must be the same reason my work has blocked this site too.

Yeah it's some flabby ass bastard I don't want to look at either. Could've at least used someone of decent aesthetics.

Right, right, and it would be so much better if goatse guy was actually a cheerleader.
(This is my subtle way of telling you that I think you missed the point of why it is hairy fat guy )

 

[lnx64]

If the company doesn't exist anymore, why have the ad then?

I thought gp32x is now hosted on ED's server

This is true. I remember the long discussions on how this could be a conflict of interest. If some admin would be nice enough to remove that ad I could probably once again be able to lurk this site at work.

 

[lnx64]

Yea, down with the ad!

I officially found out that work calls gp2x a porn site because of the ad.

 

[WizardStan]

wow, y'alls work for some very prudish companies.

 

[lnx64]

No, its just called a zero tolerance policy.

 

[WizardStan]

Do they block the Old Spice page? Lots of shirtless guy pictures on there. And I assume the entirety of youtube is blocked, never know when you might accidentally stumble onto someone in their underwear.

 

[MWeston]

I wouldn't mind seeing that picture go away myself. You can't just X it out because you lose the new topics section too.

The girl was a much better sight of course but if the company no longer exists, I'd rather it be blank space so I don't have to feel weird opening this site outside of my home...and no I'm not going to email myself a bunch of weblinks to each topic section. That's ridiculous.

It's not the picture itself, but the fact that it links to one of those placeholder pages that frequently link to virus/trojan ridden sites.
