1. Users with certain browsers cannot view the board comfortably (without feeling invaded by advertising)
2. Users get pissed off.
3. Users shut them off or use blockers or browsers to avoid them anyway.
4. The board makes enough money from other advertising tactics.
5. Slows the loading.
6. Pisses off users.
7. Pisses off users.

I am in 100% agreement with all of your points Murderous!
I would say that gfy is not struggling to make ends meet too. The use of these ads is very annoying. The banners with the sounds are bad enough but this is just infuriating!
How much is too much in regards to advertising? Especially on a webmaster board? Where most would never pay any attention to a popup ad.
