I come here to look at your articles and read the forums, not to have adverts take up half of my screen. I don't mind adverts that are sensibly placed and relevant, but taking up half of the screen? Get rid of them.
I don't know about that. I just came to that page from google and the ad was covering half of the screen. It's not hovering either, sits above the header which is odd. I didn't hover over any smaller add to get it to expand.
