This site seems to have a very large following but I hate having to suffer through a Progressive Insurance add every time I do something on them. including trying to register or contact someone there.
To hell with them.....I'll just continue to lurk

You might try an add blocker and cookie blocker and a flash blocker and a blocker to block the blocker. Works for me- most of the times.

I wander over there from time to time, a lot of hip shooting was my impression, much more knowledge shared here, I still learn something here every time I log on, there, not so much.

I know they rely on adds to support their site, but when it takes a long long time to flip back and forth and load between pages and you do a lot of pages, and then there is the flashing adds and pops distracting you, it gets old quick.
Some news sites have so much on their page it takes forever to load and overwhelms my old computer.

I bailed 2 years ago for the same reason.
