In addition, all the ads will be family and work-safe, with no popups or whatsoever and without sacrificing the browsing speed and experience,

    Thank you for your understanding,and be sure that this at the end will be your gain and only!

    Of course, I did not see them until I unblocked Adblocker Plus (good prog by the way). I know that torrentleech easily makes $100K+/month from the pay to leechers (ie, "VIPs") so I find their new ads most unpleasant

    The ads are rather large and unpleasant-


    Im pretty certain they do not make 100,000 off of their vip deals.
    Youll notice they spend their money from VIP donations on seedboxes. They have quite alot of seedboxes if you didnt notice.
    In any case the adds arent all that annoying. I didnt even notice them right away. You ussually look for the files which are in the middle of the page anyways.

    Is that true about VIPs? They're just too lazy to seed, so they pay to leech? And here I am working my ass off, seeding like a sucker to one day earn VIP status, and all I needed was to pay for my pirated material? Damn.

    Ya, the ads don't bother me a bit. I didn't notice them until you pointed it out. Thanks a lot! Now I can't stop looking at them. Man, they're so big, they take up 3/4 of the screen! Is it just me, or have they gotten bigger over the last couple of minutes?

    Just use the Remove It Permanently extension if you're using Firefox if the ads bother you that much.

    Well I suppose you are all right in the "just block them" regard- they don't really pose too much of a threat to anyone. What I don't really like is the mass amounts of money they are making from pirated material- not only from the pay-to-leeches, but now ads. The site has something around 120,000 members (correct me if you have a more reliable figure, they have atleast 100k), of which 10,000-20,000 are easily the "VIPs". This alone is a jackpot, not to mention the ads to be seen by thousands.
