So when I extend myself beyond my ability to repay using that credit card I can blame Gaile Gray and sue her for $10,000,000 in emotional damage.
LMAO...hey Tetris your name is an add...that's soooo lame

Seriously, the ads are dumb. Its very annoying when reading threads.
If you really want me to click on the links more just make all the top banner ads those ones with the games. I'll go crazy playing those for you if it removes these stupid ones that appear in our posts.

Awful sorry
I understand you may need to support the site with advertising but agree many people will be leaving because of these adverts in the forums.
I hate the pop up that appears from nowhere in the middle of the page too .
I find them intrusive and take my mind / eye off of what I am here looking at and reading.

Please stop the insanity.
The adds in the first post of every page, annoying as all heck.
The green underlining of certain words in all post, very distracting.
I would even be more happy to start a paypal account and contribute money to you to take this crap off, then to stay here a continue to put up with it.
P.S. If plan on a contribution thing, please try to get something that accepts CCs. I really don't want a paypal account either.

i really can't decide, i don't like either, but i think that the rectangle is more intrusive if i yeah had to pick one, its like the video adverts on the side of videos on places like gametraillers, you try and watch the video and there is an animated ad in the corner which is slowing the whole thing down and you can't turrn it off or stop it.

I'm willing to bet you could mostly get along with the adds in the first post of every page.
Annoying? Yes, very much so. But it's not *that* uncommon to see it. Sometimes they can even provide some amusement when their content is ironic (say, for instance, a Microsoft add in an anti-Microsoft post).
However, the inline linking on words? Horrid. It's my writing, even if the EULA states you guys own all I write here (never really payed attention). It will drive many away - not only posters but it is irritating to readers as well. Plus it is intrusive and everywhere. At the least the adds are only at the top of each page.
My guess would be that you will loose more than you can gain from the inline word links (and given that "guild wars" links to online money purchasing agents you my even loose your status with Anet). While I'm sure you need to pay for bandwidth, that is a good way to "solve' that problem (no readers == no bandwidth issues), however I do not think that is your preferred solution.
As to the initial adds - I dunno. They do not really bother me and I figure most that are complaining will not leave.
