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!

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

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.
