I wanted gamespot... Not a scion, so my suprise when I'm about to click a link on gamespot an ad engulfs my entire screen. You want to make some money GS go ahead put on ads. Hell I don't even mind getting sent to a different page before going to the page i desire. Or waiting a minute to see a comerical before just about any video. But these sneaky new ads are where I draw the line.

Yeah, those are pretty bad.

Whats worse is when they pop up and play a video. But they won't let you X it out until the video is over...if you try to X out it will open a link to that company's site. When it finally gives you the chance to close it the Close button is in a shade that only slightly different the ad's background. Terrible ****.

This is one of the reasons I barely post on GS anymore. I've found Ad free sites.

Trying to trick me so they can make money, it's pathetic.

Yeah. People are finding new ways to force ads on your screen including ones that just completely block what you are doing.

I wish i could sue for that.
