Actually, nothing is being forced on you - you're making it sound like my site has hijacked your browser home page. You're choosing to come here, access my server, use my resources, read the news, and be a part of this community.
Being ticked off that a Web site you're choosing to visit is showing you ads would be like going into a store and being angry at the music they're playing - it's part of what you get when you walk in the door. If you don't like it, there are other stores.

Attitudes like this always make me chuckle because if there was no advertising 95% of the Internet would vanish overnight - then where would you go? The only sites left would be the big corporate sites that make their money in the physical world and could afford to underwrite their ad-free Web sites. Not every site out there can use the Wikipedia model of surviving off donations. I'm extremely grateful that people like you are in the small minority.
