Default Re: Big Bold Text Ads WTF?

Are you talking about the short single line of bold text right below the banner that says "Buy (gamename) here" and has a link to the order page? If so you really have a chronically low tolerance for this stuff. Do you complain about all the labels on the cans at the grocery store too?

I wouldn't even call this an ad. It's just a conveinent link to the order page. This isn't a free site like spaceempire.net, they are trying to run a business here.
It is big, ugly, and annoying. The same purpose would be served by integrating such links into the forum design, such as next to the Game Room link. Sticking it up at the top is not a good design implementation...

And yes, I do have a chronically low tolerance for spam/advertisments...
