Whats up with those vertical ads? They leave a huge amount of blue empty space.

I was wondering the same thing. The PowerColor assault rifle ad.

I think surgical implantation might be a less invasive form of advertising.

I don't get ads at the top, just one on the left side.. Using IE too.

There's a lot of sites that I do use Adblock on, but not Anandtech. This community is great, and I try to support it with the occassional click through.

While I agree in theory, I draw the line at obnoxious Flash or Java-based ads. I'd never click on one anyway (they get paid per click not per impression, right?), so why waste their bandwidth and mine?

There was a pic on BBZZDD last night that showed one of the ads in question, but I can't find it now.

You must be using Adblock too.
