    Annoying advertising being displayed.

    Hi,
    While attempting to read the 'AMD Athlon AMD Athlon FX-51 Processor Review' article by Vince Freeman dated September 23, 2003, I noticed that there is a very annoying flash advertisement for Intel products that appears on each page of the AMD article. Is this being done to purposely distract from the article's content?

    we have quite a few full time employees, but for SE, i am the only paid employee who gets to watch over the forums. We have one freelance community leader for each of the larger sites in the network.

    I started out as an unpaid mod at a site that was purchased by Internet.com back in the day.
