I hadn't realised how bad it's got!
As some of you may know from previous rows with webbie, much of my time is spent involved with WAI (Web Accessibility Initiative) and other web standards relating to accessibility and ensuring those that have disabilities of some kind are not disadvantaged.
I use Opera quite a bit as it allows me to switch stuff on and off, this is how SN usually looks to me, not very pretty but welcome to my world!
I was updating the proxy at home tonight while browsing with Maxthon (Geko engine), my other browser of choice. and saw this.
I thought SN was broken for a bit as it was all advertising and spangley bollox and I couldn't find the actual content.
Anyway, proxy updated and normality restored
I'm sure webby will complain, but I've paid my membership so at least I'm contributing

Yeah, I'm another who saw one ad to many (not just this site). I've gone down the route of Ad Block Plus in firefox. Works great for facebook too. I had the misfortune of seeing facebook on a friends computer and it was just ad central

you have been warned 
Thanks a lot Micky
Do you have any idea how much time and effort goes into keeping scoobynet going?
Every page you download costs us money. All we ask is that you allow ads to be shown on the page so we can earn money to pay for that page. The ads do you ABSOLUTELY NO harm whatsoever, and you know that.
And on top of that you were advertising your own company on your profile. I may be beating my head against a brick wall here, but I really will be stunned if none of the above means anything to you at all.

Online adds don't really do anything for me so I don't mind if they are there or not.
I'm a cheapskate so if I can't find what I want on ebay, I don't buy it
