Well, I understand you guys' dilemma, but sites have to pay bills, and advertising is the best way to do it. And the advertising on Shrapnel's site is, overall, not very annoying at all. Just don't mouse over that area if you don't want to see it.
And, yes, I work for an advertising agency. In fact, I make some of those annoying Flash ads (not this one though). So believe me, this one is much less annoying than some of the ones I have been told to build.

I don't have to mouse over it. I get a big enormous blob of shocking purple on every single load or reload. And occasionally the blob does not go away.
I don't mind the ads in the headers. I even click on them. It was an ad like that in the Civ forums (or AC? can't remember) that led me to Dominions, yay!
I would never, ever, ever, click on a big ugly link through the depths of purplish hell splayed across my browser.
Edit: Installed noscript. Yay, no more purple hell for me.
