Thumbs down Ad overlays by GumGum on OUR photos?

Seriously guys, are you running out of real estate to throw random, unassociated ad revenue generators on these forums? Now you have to throw ad banners on user photos from our own link sources?

Poor decision.

I understand the need to pay for the site maintenance (it's not nearly as much as some would like you to believe), but there are better ways to generate revenue than this.

At least offer a site subscription for people who are tired of getting inundated with these spam ads everywhere on RCtech to get them removed. Because the reality is, when you bombard the reader with too many ads, they seek out a way to block ALL OF THEM, and that only hurts the true paying advertisers in the long run.

Firefox to the rescue...
