The popup ads at the bottom of every screen was one thing. Now, I bring up SimHQ and am automatically re-directed to the Apple App store for some stupid game. I understand ads pay the bills, but this is getting ridiculous.

I don't have an issue when i'm at home on my PC. Only when I use my phone at work. (SimHQ is blocked at work). SimHQ is probably the only site I would pay a fee to use.

Yeah I'm in the same iOS boat the popup ads make it hard choice, be very annoyed and support the site, or block the ads and don't support the site,I'm hoping they come up with a supporter ad-free option.

So are these supposed to be showing if you're logged in?? I'm increasingly less likely to visit the site on my phone, and that's where I do most of my browsing.

I'm beginning to think that this isn't a website issue, but more of an Apple issue. Sites that I frequent (from my phone) which use no ads for revenue are also plague with that redirect to the App Store for some random app...

It is definitely a website Ad provider issue and you will see it on websites like SimHQ that choose to use that Ad provider, they check your browser version 'user agent string' and then use some specific ios ads for the Safari web client.
On my jaibroken iPhone using Safari I see the annoying Ads, then if I use a jaibreak hack to change my Safari 'user agent string' to report it's version as IE then they don't show up.
They also don't show up if you use a iOS web browser that does ad-blocking, which sadly is what I have resorted to on my iPad2 which is not jailbroken and so I can't make it fake itself as IE.
Hopefully at some point SimHQ will provide us iOS users a way to support the site without having to block these annoying ads.

My understanding was that the ads come up for those not logged in. Stay logged in and you shouldn't get them.

Unfortunately they come if you are logged in too... actually if logged in people got normal ads and the aggressive popup/hover ads were only for guests that would be great.
But that is not the case unfortunately, the only thing saving you Raw is the Ad provider SimHQ uses hasn't figured out how to do the annoying ads in whatever Android browser version you are using when on your mobile or tablet... for iOS they definitely figured out the annoying way to make the ads most visible even when we are logged in.
