i totally agree they make enough money for certain from normal ads and paying people so they shouldnt bombard us non paying people you know? and i might just go download ad blocker so they get payed less for the ads
New pop-up ads on chess.com
Sort:
What's worse....the ads are generally bra ads on my account. Why would i need that?

It was on my old account. I was using Explorer at the time. Yes, it was nearly every page....and took up nearly every ad slot.

Yes, every or extremely close to every page load. My browser is next to newest IE
That's the main reason that I purchased a gold membership, to avoid seeing all of the annoying and distracting ads on this site.
if you're not paying a membership fee, you're not a customer, you're a free rider. If you don't like the site enough to pay, deal with it. Or agree that you like the content enough to support the site.

Oh well, looks like you got it anyway...lol
I'm not getting the bra ads. Is seeing bra ads a premium feature?
If by "pop-up ads" you mean those ones that extrude themselves from the lower left corner, I too am getting way more than 1 per day (I've had 3 in the last several minutes). And I use Google Chrome.
There is software out there that deals with these sorts of annoyances.

I get a pop-up ad extruding itself upwards across the bottom of every single page in Safari.
Just tried Opera and it only pops up once... hmmm.

Oh yeah...thanks! 
Quit complaining so much about the ads popping up. Well since you don't think you should pay, there is a easy solution besides quiting this great site.
That is doing what the astronauts do to fix anything that fails on their ships.
Take a roll of duct tape and just put tape over the area on your screen where the ads pop up.
What a great solution. NO MORE ADS.
IMHO
Hey guys, let's tell chess.com to stop those annoying pop up ads being thrown at non paying (= less respect) chess.com customers. They are unreasonably interfering with overall website experience. On just about every new page load, pop up goes up and interferes with the game and just casual browsing.
Chess.com, yes you need to make money, regular ads are fine, occasional pop ups would be tolerable, but constant bombardment with pop up advertising is wrong. Stop it.
Please, don't start that broohaha that if you dont' like, go away or just pay up. I don't need lecturing about that. I believe, non paying players can be treated better.
