What ad?
But seriously, DVDTalk is the only site on my AdBlock exception list. Will that have to change?

I never had that installed in FireFox until this mess, and it's helped out a lot. Not only with this add, but other sites as well.
I wish we had something here like other sites, where we pay a flat one-time fee of $10 or so and we got the site ad-free, with perhaps other benefits also.

While I hate the ad, I generally don't complain on this type of thing because I figure it is a 1-2 day dea for which the site gets really good money....so I put up with it. But this has gone on past my patience

Under the non-responsive Internet Brands, there is no way am I paying money for this site, ads or not. I'm guessing I'm not alone in that stance.

I keep forgetting that it's a whole new ballgame now.

Josh, I installed the Firefox plug-ins that you suggested and I must say, THANK YOU.
I was just going to stop visiting for a few days, but now I can browse and I don't see or hear ANYTHING Frontier(s).
<b>antennaball</b>, just do what he suggested, you'll be fine.

I'm sure that's what they tell the advertisers if the site goes down on a saturday morning. "Nope can't get it back up until monday, guess you'll just have to eat that money you gave us." Bullshit.

That being said, we're into the afternoon on the east coast with no word one way or the other which is beginning to test my patience.

This ad is just extremely annoying period.
Anyone who thought this was a good idea should be fired. From the idiot who coded it to the idiot who approved it. As well as to the director and writer coming up with yet another Hostel-knock-off-horror-porn-fest. barf-yawn.
Complete FAIL all around.
