When did these ads show up?  Oh well, at least it's not pop-ups.

Your ad blocker should have nothing to do with it.  They are not popup ads.

Scroll to the top of the page. Look between the ArcadeControls.com banner and the BYOAC Forums box.  There should be a box with ads in it.

Nothing there but a blank space where I assume the ad would be otherwise.

At least the ads are related.... ebay is even a site.  

I wasn't saying they were good or bad either way, merely noticing that they were there.

I agree, at least they're topical to the site.  Could be worse, with ads for mortgage banks and Viagra.  ;)
