Well I don't mind really, considering the Wowhead crew earn money on it, which again allows them to keep the site up :)

Wowhead need to advertise for other sites to be able to afford and keep Wowhead up so what would you choose?
No advertise = No money = No wowhead
Or
Advertise = Money = Wowhead
Seems like a pretty easy choose to me

Banner ads are coo, especially when placed properly... Pop-ups, "layer ads" (basically simulated pop-ups) and ads that make noise are disruptive.
I can't turn Adblock off, because if I do the disruptive ads (which are nearly everywhere BTW) annoying the living @#$% out of me. I wouldn't mind disabling it just for Wowhead if they could learn to use ads responsibly... I guess I'll turn it off for a day and see how it goes.
PS: The only way Wowhead would be losing revenue from Adblockers is if the ads are on a ppc (Payed-per-click) basis. If they are on a payed-per-view basis, Wowhead would make equal revenue regardless of what your browser displays or doesn't display. If they are on a PPC ad plan, anyone who doesn't click on the ads is effectively "making Wowhead lose income"... So yeah, grats to you all.
