You don't want people to use an adblocker. Ok, that's cool. I'm OK with that. But then the layout of the site shouldn't regularly be broken because of ads. Example:

Why does the ad prevent me from accessing the forums? I cannot access the forum of my choice because the ad covers up the menu. Note: there is no way to close this ad (there was a close button which I pressed before I took this screenshot, but it did nothing). And why is there a big white gap between "The Point" and the Recent and Popular section.

I use adblock, sorry, but the ads are just poorly implemented here. Can't tolerate it. Besides, I only use the forums now, and only barely.

@edgework: Yes, in The Netherlands. The language of the ad is Dutch. I hope this will help you trace down the ad. In the past days I've seen several other ads in the same place on Gamespot, but they all had a functioning close button. Clicking on the close button actually closed the ad. But the ad in the screenshot had a non-functioning close button, that turned into a button "Bekijk advertentie" when I clicked on it. Bekijk advertentie is Dutch for View advertisement.

@Wiro_: We're working on that specific issue right now. It should be gone soon. Sorry.
