I know my computer isn't the newest but couldn't you have more control over the bandwidth your banner ads consume? They absolutely ruin gaming performance. I therefore, have to find something else to do...like work. This has been an increasingly annoying problem, especially when the same ad is placed above and below the game window. I can also see the effects on a newer computer. So, the solution isn't buying another computer.
The ads dont load 1/2 the time, and the other half they play for 30 seconds and then I get a black box and nothing happens!!! I came here to play games, not to watch ads!!!!
