It seems that there is a new Infolinks popup at the bottom of every page "new" page, except in the marketplace. Is this really new, or have I just some how been oblivious in the past. I'm pretty easy going, but this is a really annoying popup. Is this a new website "feature" we are going to have to endure for the foreseeable future, or just a temporary thing?

I hate to add more stuff to the browser, but is there a good free ad blocker that will block this new popup? It really makes Renderosity feel like one of those sites that needs to have tons of annoying adds to pay for the web site (the type of site I avoid). So it's either block it, get annoyed every time I visit, or just not come here much anymore.

I really wonder if this type of advertising really works? I know I never click on them, so the effort and band width is truly wasted on me. Am I unusual, and does this type of advertisement really generate more sales for companies advertising this way? I also wonder why a web site selling products would want to send you to another website, risking the dollars you might spend with them would be diverted and spent elsewhere? Obviously they did think of this possibility a bit though, since it doesn't show in the Renderosity Marketplace, but it does show in Free Stuff, the Galleries, and the Community sections of the website.

Anyway, if someone could point me to a good free ad blocker I would very grateful!!!!
