O.P. Messenger Adverts, taking the piss now
I thought rollover ads were big enough before when they displayed a mini trailer for a film but now this takes the piss, i have no contact list left!
I thought I'd try messenger with it's ads on this fresh install but just put off now and itching to install messenger toolbox/avalon concept skin now

Hmm really? I always leave my ads on, but they've never left their little areas.

Rollover are like these are the reason for me to remove them either.

RE: Messenger Adverts, taking the piss now
And they wonder why people use ad removers...
Honestly, this is just getting stupid now. Can they really get away with stuff like this?

Who is going to stop them (aside from a huge injection of common sense - not going to happen)?
It is a free service after all, although i doubt the ads are smaller/removed for Premium users.
