As of a few minutes ago, I've noticed GWGuru having different ads. These are the annoying flash ones that pop up in a new "window" (without actually opening in a new window), and you need to click "close".
Is GWGuru in need of more money, is this temporary, or what? Every time I go to another page, one of these annoying flash popup ads appears. If you don't know what I mean, I mean the ads like this:

never had any such ads before. ever.
was thinking maybe it was one of the features of guru subscription (http://www.guildwarsguru.com/content/mmo-guru-select-subscription-program-id2146.php), but then noticed that i haven't actually disabled ads yet. :o
(better go do that now ...)

These should only pop up if you are not logged in.

No, it's there when you're logged in. It's a flash ad that rolls down. Not technically a "pop up" but yes they can get annoying. I'll see if I can pull it up with the URL and get it removed. Thanks for the heads up.

But ads are an important part of keeping the internet "free" so as long as it doesnt suck up half your brandwith its fine

I haven't seen these, but I do get "operation timed out while waiting for (what ever it's called)". I open mulitple threads using tabs and it is very annoying.

Thanks, Inde. They seem to be gone now.
