Seriously?

Okay, so I've been seeing a lot of people whining and bitching about FA's new attempts at posting ads. So I'm just going to make one comment here and leave it at that.
Are they annoying? Yes. I don't trust ads of any kind. All of them have the potential to be virus magnets.
Is there a solution? Yes. Adblock the damn things, or whatever the hell your browser's equivalent is. Works like a charm, people!
What about the ugly open gaps where the ads used to be? Apparently there's a way those can be blocked too. But seriously, if your mental health depends so much on having the layout of your FA be perfectly spaced, then you probably need to seek counseling. It's a space. You blocked the ad already, and it isn't as though the gap is screen-tearing. Scroll beyond it and get on with your life.
That's my two cents. There may be a lot of reasons to complain about FA these days, but spaces in the website layout...not one of them. So sorry, if that's what concerns you, you aren't getting any sympathy from me.
EDIT: So recently I've been hearing that the newest string of adverts on FA involve links to human porn sites. Okay, I see the issue there. But again, Adblock is your solution. I've never seen a single one of them, and I am not going to. Why? ADBLOCK.
I also have a rebuttal. I hear people say "but what about the people who come here to look at my gallery? They might not have adblock!"
Okay, fine. But think of it this way. FA is known by 99% of the world for the fact that it hosts PORN. Why the flipping fucking hell do you have a primarily PORN-HOSTING site as a professional portfolio?? If you have a need for a gallery to link to for the sake of any clients or professional purpose, DON'T USE FA! Think about it! If your clients don't know what FA is about, it won't take them long to find out! Use a more professional hosting website, and keep FA's galleries to the clients who don't care about the porn...and probably watch you for the porn anyway.
