Meta: WTF TrueStage!

Man, I don't know what TrueStage is, but I need to figure out how to boycott them. Is anyone else getting an annoying ad that covers up content?

I mean, at least it isn't a porn ad....at least not on this end. 

In all seriousness, they are fairly annoying, especially when you already have comprehensive life insurance coverage.

Sometimes, but what’s really annoying me is the fact that mgoblog won’t load from the shortcut I created for my homepage using Chrome…

Yeah that's bullshit.  They dont control the sidebar ads (your search engine history does) but I'm pretty damn sure they do control the in-line ads and that's where our "friends" from TruStage appear.

I'm also reasonably sure that Seth is the guy responsible for the ads and I think he's got more important things on his mind these days which is why I deleted my Meta post on this very same subject twice over the past week.

The TrueStage ad drives me away from the site. I don't want to use an ad blocker, but that ad sure is counterproductive to (laptop) traffic.

Also some of the pot ads slow my system to a crawl and I have to exit out. Glad I haven't seen those in a couple days.

FWIW I started to create a Meta post this afternoon on it.  Damn as literally blots out the entire page and there’s nothing you can do until it decides times up and leaves.
