New Ads

Due to forces outside of our control, we have had to change our ad provider. Our previous ad provider decided that we no longer were a fit for them. I was very very happy with this provider, but now have been forced to move onto our second choice.

While this may cause some pain to our end users, ads are an unfortunate necessity to keep the site up and running. If you run into any problems with the ads on the site (i.e. spyware, crashing, or pornographic ads), please let me know so we can resolve this ASAP.

Thank you for your understanding.

  Recently I was messing around with my adblocker and was on IJ at the same time and received an xvideo ad that started actually LOADING a video unbeknownst to me until I tabbed over to an IJ tab I was on and realized what was happening. Is this part of the new ad system? I'm not sure if xvideo is spyware or not but I'm currently scanning my computer..

    I really hate the ad that takes up an entire page and says "InsaneJournal brought to you by" and you have to click on a link at the top right corner to get through. Those ads are just terrible and so incredibly annoying. Like everyone else, I understand that you need ads but do the full page ads have to be part of it?

      Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that's the ad I was experiencing because it did have the "Insanejournal brought to you by" link at the top but I freaked and closed it immediately. And I definitely agree.
