    Default GM-Volt.com please drop the invasive and junky advertisements

    Over the last few days the quality of the advertisements on this site has gone down the tubes.

    Now there are pop-over adds that are very annoying.

    This is a high quality site that provides a great service to the Volt community and it shouldn't lower its standards to accept the small amount of $ offered by these junk ad platforms.


    Sincerely,
    2012 White Volt

    Cheesy at a minimum. Annoying for sure. Makes the site look and feel cheap and trashy. Definitely not a Volt experience.

    I agree, The pop-up's that somehow get around my pop-up blocker or the video advertisement that just won't mute or pause bug me the most.
