Could they jam any more ads on this page? :roll: :roll:

Their site has become so bogged down and slow because of all of the ads that it is almost unusable.

And when you want to read an article, you have to answer a survey question first...which slows it down ever more.
And when you are done with the survey question, an ad pops up on you in a new window that you have to close... it's almost completely unusable anymore.

Drives me nuts.

Yeah, agree completely. And, the survey thing is obnoxious. I get that print media is struggling and they are trying to transition to online and need a source of revenue. But, I'm not paying them to read their columns online when I can read so much online for free.

I always answer the question completely wrong. :P

Go ahead and sell my 100% false info to your advertiser.

Yeah, I don't use any ad blockers. Maybe I should.

How is the site load time?

It's okay... Takes longer than most sites to load but not bad.

Shouldn't this be in the bitching thread?
