The title says it all. These video ads are out of control and bogging down many users computers. It's got to stop. Seriously.

The web master could make it so the advertisements don't auto play, or have that stipulation on the retail space of these pages. The problem arises when two videos especially are trying to run at the same time while everything else on the page is loading....resulting in peoples default streamers crashing or rebooting and much aggravation. Heck I paused two videos when this page finally stabilized just to have one ad change to another auto running video.

Sigh...I don't care about people making money with this sites 1/4 page retail space but it's come to the point where the site is no longer user friendly.

If you use Firefox, there's a sweet addon called Flashblock that prevents videos from playing automatically. It won't affect normal ads, only videos.
 
Thanks for the info and yes, I do use Firefox.

I see Adblock Plus, I'll try that one first as it claims it will actually give you that lost ad space back so viewing more content page.

Oh my lord. It works. I'm a huge fan of ad blocker with it's newest edition where you can change preferences to eliminate all ads. Even the annoying weather.com pages are ad free now....wow. I see that add-on is available for Chrome too.
 
Good morning, the annoying shoe ad I reported on another thread is still active on the incubating and hatching eggs forum.

Hope this helps you get rid of it:
