Woah, Ads on top of page

[PandaNin]

Question, can donating members not be subjected to the ads on top of the page?

I'm going to setup my firewall so doubleclick is blocked cause right now it's a little more than annoying when using the laptop. Effectively the top 1/2 of the screen is ads served by google.

I second.

um yeah, posted this in the performance thread... but gotta say its enough to make me not want to visit regularly . one or two *maybe* but 5 image impressions per page load? I mean really... is the Org in such dire needs that we this?

I fixed it.

If you're computer competent
cd C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
edit hosts
add an entry
127.0.0.1 <tab key>googleads.g.doubleclick.net

save the file

It doesn't solve the spacing problem but I don't see the ads anymore.

Slows my connection to a crawl. Takes forever for page to load.

Is it even possible?

Those ads are served from Google not our server so you should see no change in the speed the forum loads...
