It's not REALLY that horrendous (as far as appearance). It does result in a lot of "wasted" space, but if they want the ads there, that's fine (though on the right would be better, and as long as they don't blink).
The only major problem is once you get down below the adspace, there's just blank page being wasted (and no the solution isn't more ads ).
There comes a time when people with limited capabilities have to be left behind and forced to upgrade, otherwise we'd still have games written for 1MB video cards. It took forever for many sites to optimize even for 1024x768. If AT wants to put a relatively small ad-bar on the left, and you're stuck at a low resolution so that it's annoying, either upgrade or stop using the site. If you went to a NEW forum and saw something like that, would you start complaining about it there?
Cant really compare graphics cards to monitors. Not everyone has deskspace for a 21" CRT.
Well I do have a 21" CRT and I still dont like it, Anand really needs to look deeply into the staff that so blindly pull this stuff and think about getting some folks that are in touch with the AT community, heck these are the guys that brought you such things as the tiger direct sticky thread (like anyone who has drawn a breath in the last decade dosent know what complete thieves they are) and then go's on to defend them? I will not give a troll, be it a company or a person a second chance when they blatently rip someone off.
But I degress, I understand that it requires $$ to run a site the size of Anandtech. What I dont understand is how the people that run it are so out of touch with the people that use it. Why would I even think about subscibing when there are so many people who are completely dis-satisfied with the service they recived after doing so, they greatly outnumber the "fully satisfied" it seems.
But of course its allways easy to complain about stuff, its much harder to actually do it. That said, please, please, please take a long look at the way these things are done, and perhaps take a little more time and thought before implementing them.

++Edit++ Oh yeah, please move the ads to the right (if they must be on the sides at all) Thank you
