So I've been dithering on the GB membership until today.  They put up an ad with audio - now that's something I can't have, if I'm going to be at work and procrastinating on this site.  So, will paying make it go away?

If you are a paid member you don't get any ads.

Thanks. Now it's done. That was a dirty trick, GB, but I should have subscribed a long time ago.

I just checked. There is an automatically playing ad with sound.

Ryan said they are going to check it out.

I recall one of them(I think Daniel) making a post about ads not long ago that seemed to imply that the people in charge of the ads were doing things they didn't want them to and they were going to try and work it out.

Yeah, they said the ads and their content wasn't in their hands, but they were going to try and make them as relevant and unobtrusive as they could, or something along those lines.

Yeah, some of the ads are pretty terrible.
