IT's fine having ads.  ANd yeah they can use their hot topic thing or whatever to tell me when they want to promote something.

But now I get a message notification that they sent me a special note, so then I go check my notes and then it's just the same old spam.

It's like "HEY, HEY YOU!  HEY YEAH PAY ATTENTION TO US!  We Want to talk about things..." "what?" "HEY PARTICIPATE IN THIS CONTEST FOR OUR SPONSORS!  HEY HEY, PAY ATTENTION, YOU WANT STUFF?  MAYBE SOME CLOTHES WITH DA ON THEM!?"  

I think they should slow it down a bit.
