Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
Ads were out of control for me tonight. I would mute one and another would load a few second later unmuted. The most annoying point was when the same add loaded in both windows and I got an echo effect.
Just had one a few minutes ago, and as I type this I am getting an echo effect (2 of the same ad). And I have no option to mute. This past one was for a credit card. Also, it seems that all the "talkies" have a logo with a lower case "i" in a blue circle.
This is now on two different computers, with two different browsers. Chrome and Firefox.

I've been constantly getting Straight-Talk talkie ads today (around 10 times in just a couple of minutes). As others have said, these are seriously disruptive and annoying, and multiple weeks response time for this issue is just not good enough. I'll turn AdBlockPlus back off if and when this issue is resolved.

I got this one about 10 times in a row, I even got the echo version that someone talked about a few posts up.

Happened to me a few minutes ago myself, seems to open about once a page and I've gotten the echo one once. Only happens with Straight Talk, though. Haven't encountered the other obnoxious "Talkie" ads yet, though, but there have been several video ads that play silently in the background. I've also seen still ads for "Wartune" which advertises itself as an AO, 18+ MMO (though the actual website doesn't appear to have any info indicating it's ESRB rating).
Please keep posts here on topic - reporting the ads. Ranting doesn't help unless it has screen shots and urls.
They were supposed to have some new system in place last week in order to stop these, they didn't stop, so I shot an email a couple days ago. It was a weekend so hopefully we get something today.
New one:
Dragon's Prophet opened up a new tab on me. I am on a crappy tablet-ish thing right now, but I'm 99% sure there were no accidental clicks towards it.
Might just be a thing to keep an eye on.
Likely tablet issue, it's registering extra clicks afterall...
Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
UPDATE
I just recieved an email from the Curse Tech Team (half an hour ago) stating that they banned straighttalk and straighttalkhomephone, so hopefully that's solved.
They are now checking other sources and making sure they didn't miss anything originated in straighttalk.
I'll keep you posted as I get more info.
I tried to click on a thread to view, then the screen went to one of those ads that tries to stop you from leaving the current page you're on. It was a shingles ad, and it was something like, "Why don't you read this before you leave?"
I just got an interstitial ad, which is just about the worst kind of ad I can imagine getting on MTGS.
I have Flash disabled, so I can't say who it was for. But here's a screenshot anyway.

I just got this myself when I was reading the "Star City responds to complaints" thread in Legacy here in the last two minutes. I didn't stay on the page long enough to see who/what it was for.

I second this. Video ads are getting redundant. I'll grab links when I can.

This seems like a pretty egregious ad.

The straight talk walkie talkie video ad has popped up 4 times already and I've only been on the site for 5mins this morning......
Please turn it off.
