Apparently there are so many Local Women (only 1.2 miles from one town over from me!) that want to have sex with me that I am going to need a diverse assortment of "male enhancement" products to keep up with it. Unsolicited offers of sex and companies begging to be able to take some credit for my irresitable virile attraction is the price of being such an all around stud-muffin hunk of a man, though, so I take it in stride. Seriously, I get Amazon ads for CH Products, car dealership ads, and the like. Best of all, NO MORE VIDEO ADS forcing the site to come to a crawl! Hurray!

None.
I haven't used the internet without an adblocker in ages.
I always find it highly disturbing when I see what the www looks like for some of my friends/family. Open a webpage-> audio ads, blinking banners, animations, complete video adds, pop-ups, pop-unders, pop-in-your-face, it's insanse.
The free websites I use frequently I rather support with small-ish donations than having to suffer that kind of crap.

LOL, the forum made and "autolink" to CH Products at Amazon (bet it did it again) in my post, but not for "male enhancement."

Another Adblock user here.
I didn't even know there was adverts here.

Cars and joysticks and sim stuff on Amazon for me. Once I saw an ad that, apparently, catched something related to mosquitos writtten in a post here at SimHQ (don't rememeber what it was, screenshot's gone now) and I got an ad for mosquito repelant. 
When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".

I don't really pay attention to the ads but loading them takes so much in resources on my aging XP laptop that I have to turn off the plug-in container for firefox to get topics to load here. It can seriously take up to a minute or more sometimes as soon as I kill the plug-incontainer.exe the topics load like changing a channel. I have a fairly decent high speed connection and this is the only site I really have the problem with. The problem with ads in the background is I wouldn't click on them if my life depended on it. I've never clicked on an ad on purpose EVER! So I although I understand it helps bring in revenue but I'm guessing the ads are lost on most people here.
I've got a bad feeling about this.....
