Ok, I don't mind hobby related ads too much, but when I see: "Meet Hot Girls (Free)" showing up in my JT Snow post, then I'm sure the "viagra" and "enlargement" ads are not far behind.
Here's how you kill these ads in IE7:
Go to Tools > "Internet Options" > click the "Security" tab, and click on "Restricted Sites". Click on "Sites" and then enter the following into the text box:
http://*.googlesyndication.com/
Click on "Add", "Close", then "OK."
No downloads, no patches, no nothing, just IE's built in tools to customize your internet experience.

And me . But I'm definitely doing this when I get home! Thanks!

Im glad I read this before it got bammed.
If PSA will delete threads about memory lane because they're an advertiser, Im sure they wouldn't think twice about deleting a thread telling people how NOT to see their latest and greatest advertiser.
Shame on PSA for doing this, its bad enough to get flyers about upcoming auctions in every sub, then this

There aren't enough people who submit every single card for grading. You guys need to quit being such cheapskates and start trying to put together PSA 10 complete sets of 90 Score football, 88 Topps baseball, 91 Donruss baseball (ser 1&2).
Then, maybe PSA wont need the ad money.

Hey PSA...if youre gonna do this, how about a filter for gold/platinum members only that blocks this crap out?

It is being widely speculated that they are the "last best hope"
to facilitate the seller-exodus required to dent EBAY's lock on
collectible listings.

The ads are not bothering me at all.
BUT, I have a VERY fast-connection AND since the ads have appeared
my refresh rate has slowed just enough for me to see a flash. I wonder
if folks on dial-up have noticed.
