Interruption Ads are pretty annoying

I realize they probably bring in more revenue, but they aren't very classy. When I posted this to Metafilter, I'm pretty sure a good many people quit playing the game because of them. Couldn't you just use banner ads?

I don't find them too annoying, and if they help support the game, well, there are far more obtrusive methods for which Matthew could have opted, heh.

There's lots of diffrent Ad methods. Personally, popups bother me least, because they are blocked. Therefor they are the worst to use, so people have to come up with more obtrusive methods to gather more money.

But if they bother you that much, you can simply play a diffrent level.

They might not be the greatest thing in the world, but all in all, they help to keep the site running.

Where else would MD get money? I agree partly that banner ads would be nicer, but they would mess up how the sight looks constantly. The current ads just interrupt for a few seconds.
