What is necessary to get those disgusting ads off the threads? Is there a fee for that? ---

Which ads do you find disgusting? If there are problematic ads, e.g. porn or scam, then you can report them. ---

Use an adblocker. I like uBlock Origin, atm - [https://www.google.com/search?q=ublock+origin&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8](https://www.google.com/search?q=ublock+origin&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) There’s a version there for Firefox or Chrome. ---

Doesn’t everyone like those pictures of internal parasites and plastic surgery gone bad? It’s a non-membership benefit. Plus if you sign up now, you’ll miss out on live feeds from Moderator Bathroom Cam. ---

That’s why we need new ones every so often and why they are issued jackboots. (For wading through the filth of fallen comrades.) ---

I use adblock. But, in those few times I have to access SD from a non-ad block equipped computer, I’m upset at how bad the ads this site takes really are. I think they make the SD look like crap. ---

If I don’t see any ads that result in me having an erection lasting more that 4 hours, permanent raccoon eyes, or excessive gambling I consider myself lucky. ---

A membership here (which disappears all the ads) costs a whopping $15/year. Yep, for the cost of one Domino’s cardboard pizza, you can kiss those nasty ads goodbye for a year! I wish the blogs I frequent had a deal as good as that. Seriously, we should be grateful to TPTB here that it’s as cheap and easy as it is to make the SDMB ads vanish. ---
