| In the last day or 2 I started noticing all these double-underlined links popping up in weird places throughout articles. When you click on it, or even just mouseover, you get an ad for something which is sometimes related to the word in the link, and sometimes not. It's advertising stuck all throughout the text you're trying to read. I don't like it. I don't have to like it, and I don't have to find ways to generate revenue to support the site either. But since this forum asks for feedback, I'll tell you that I think it stinks to have all this crap throughout the text in addition to the banner ads on every side.

| Yeah, we're evaluating it. I'm hoping it gets less annoying - we've asked them to cut back to only 3-5 words a page and frankly, if it continues to be a pain n the ass, we'll kill it. We're a site that is growing and growing fast and obviously, we're thrilled with our growth and success. But since we won't take gambling ads like most fantasy companies do, we need to find other ways to have revenue. Premium memberships and products like the draft kit or the draft analyzer help, but the new site design was not cheap, nor is he live stats feed, the pictures, the 50 columnists that write 4 articles a day per in season sport, the 7 editors that oversee all this and that's before we start player news, hopefully sometime this week, which will be free. So, we hear ya, we continue to try things out and I really appreciate the feedback. TMR

Don't know why the policy against gambling ads (maybe legal?), but if it's morality or what's more offensive or something, I'd surely say some of the racy personals ads are much more offensive.
Especially when you try and go on this site while at work.

Pretty sure its more about the legal ramifications than anything else. I wish I could access the site from work though, but kind of hard to do that at a grocery store.
