As a subscriber since day one, I've never been privy to any ads on the site. As a non-subscriber, are you seeing ads? What kinds and where? Do you mind or even like them, or are they making you tear out fistfuls of your Movember mustache?
The homepage has a Scion background and "The Legend of Hollowdega" ad. It's weird that there are still no ads in front of videos. I'm fine with how it is now and even if there were ads in front of videos, that would be okay too.
Every time. It's usually the Scion ads. Sometimes it's a couple of banners and other times it's a full page ad. There's other ads also, like World of Warcraft and some horror ad. I keep forgetting the name.
Scion ads eh? I'm actually surprised they don't have any in front of videos (Scion ads) because if anyone else has been to a threatre lately they have probably seen what looks like a very short but expensive looking action packed Scion ad.

I'm in the UK, I've never seen a single advert in the history of this site. Yet another reason why I won't be subscribing.
I pay monthly, which supposedly still gets ads. I rarely see ads on this site and when I do its tiny and in a almost inconspicuous/not annoying place. I rarely see ads, though, on this site. I live in the US.

escaping ads isn't exactly the main reason most of the people who subscribed did so.
I won't get ads either but I'll gladly pay them money if it helps keeping these sites running.

No it is stil the same, I think the only ad's I have ever seen using this site was when the stream for TNT was buffering.

I thought the same when I just followed the video content, now that I'm more active in the forums and posting frequently I now want to support the community by becoming a subscriber.
" @Brendan: If you log out you can see for yourself. "
You're right, I could log out and disable adblock, but I also wanted to know what users from around the world were seeing as well and get opinions on what people were seeing.
Being in Canada I didn't get many ads to begin with. One or two once in a while. Really, the most GB's annoyed me with was the BLLSL ads that ran infront of every damn video I'd watch every day for however long. I still subscribed, for some reason.

True but I would bet site skins don't cost what they used to. I have a decent job, I wonder how much IGN would charge me to have IGN SUX DIX skinned on their site for a week?

I really, really want you to find out. And then get Buzz_Clik to design it.

I rarely see them although I have seen the Gears of War 2 and Halo Reach adverts on here a while ago. I may have seen others but there are none that have been stood out or seemingly in annoying places (i.e. advert between page loading etc).
