Pro-only petition:
Personally, because I voluntarily pay for a blue name, I would appreciate the option to skip the 'splash' advertisement page I'm always routed to when visiting The UG, as well as the option to hide advertisement banner's along the left frame when browsing threads. Basically I find the timing and placement of these ads annoying and I feel their burden would be better placed only on those who do not help fund the site, i.e. mudnamers.
Please consider granting us with this option, and thanks for everything Kirik.
