First off, yes ads are necessary, yes a curse premium account removes them, yes I support all of these things. But the ads are misbehaving I think.
I almost never see this site without being logged into my Curse account so I never notice the ads. For whatever reason, I was on here looking at things and was not logged in. I found this site to be HORRIBLY sluggish with the ads that are being displayed. I don't know if it's the ad service or the ads being "too bulky/flashy", but that's when ads drive away your traffic. If the site doesn't load in a few seconds like every other professionally developed and maintained site on the Internet, that is when your ads are going to kill you. People do not want to stare at a half-loaded screen waiting for the navigation bar so they can click into the forums. I REALLY, REALLY have to stress this is REALLY, REALLY bad. REALLY. I hope the devs/admins can figure it out before it causes too much more trouble. Yikes!
