Way too many ads

I know I'm far from the first person to say it, but in hopes that site staff see it, I'm adding my voice to the criticism about ads, because this is honestly ridiculous. I understand wanting to place ads on a free website. I can deal with a banner ad or two, but the amount of ads right now is absurd. I'm just gonna avoid going to the site if this is what I'm greeted with every time. I'm not asking you to remove ads entirely because I know that won't happen, but please just tone it down.

i did some math earlier. on my display, the site itself takes up 1,844,007 pixels. 4 banners dedicated to one advertisement take up 522,300 pixels of the site. that's approximately 28.3% of the site's space dedicated to ad space.

They just keep on making the website a worse user experience. Feels like they are milking it as hard as possible knowing that an alternative is in the works by the community.

You don't NEED a website to track runs and leaderboards. There's always an alternative, just not one as convenient (that I know of) as SRC.

@Meta Please delete ads

@Komrade it's a convenient way to track boards and have links to the runs themselves (and also make communities around games)
