I've noticed it too. It basically says that if you login the ad to the left will disappear.

I only call 911 for problems. Whatever we're alluding to, it isn't a problem!

I heard from someone that said the ads are generated for words that keep popping up in posts.

As a porn connoisseur, I promise you, you _do not_ want to do that.

That's true, but the ads come out of an inventory that does not allow adult related ads. Nice try though
As an aside, the new ad locations are a test, some of the ad styles/positions may have a permanent home others may not.

I hate the new ads at the end of the every, single, friggen, gosh darn post page. I hate them.

I mean, I don't have a problem with any other banner ads, side of the page ads, or any other ads on this web site at all. I know they pay the bills and help keep this site going. This is understood.

The new ads at the end of each posts page, though, are extremely annoying however, because they feel like pop ups with out being actual pop ups. They have that pop up feel because you don't really see or expect them. As you are enjoying and reading the posts, you continue to scroll down, and all of a sudden, BAM, you hit the last post, and well, it's not the last post, it's a pseudo pop up ad. It's annoying as heck. You can't even avoid them because you have to scroll through them to get to button for the next page.

The ads at the top or side are not bad and I even click on some that I find I may be interested in but these pop ups/scroll throughs...SUCK...

Mr website administrator proprietor sir, please get rid of these ads. You guys can do better. Don't mess this up.

Have you ever suffered from bloating, irritability, or you just don't feel like the incredible pilot that you really are? Try our new Turbo Lax. It has a new and improved formula tested on actual african rhinoceros that is guaranteed to flush you out or the next two bottles free. Just pay separate shipping, handling and sucker fee.
