Ok, this just sucks.
I'm sure /. needs to produce revenue. I've paid up for a subscription and don't often use enough pageviews that this comes up often, but when it does it's just infuriating.
Where my preferred slashboxes (from which /.'s staff allready has ignored my request that they filter some obnoxious, 0 content advertizing for 'engarde secure(sic) linux' from the Linux Security slashbox). I'm now treated to a fscking advertizement, using more space than the top-banner, so now nearly 50% of the space I allocate to a browser window is filled with advert space.
I sure as hell won't be resubscribing unless they either 1. move this down to the bottom of the slashboxes. or 2. eliminate it completely for subscribers. --- preferably both.
I do occaisionally look at the banner content on /. but I well damn well not do so with this cruft which has been added to the /. page in a way that's gonna be hard to filter out
