is this something to generate money or what? it is really fricken annoying as hell. wish I could remove it without paying to remove it.

They have been there since day 1 :)
You probably had ad blocker on. But the ads generate some revenue for the game.

omg gotta get one back

Buy premium, it's great, no ads, no captcha for bonus points etc.

Captcha always wins, which is why I bought premium.

So you're wanting to remove ads...the only small source of income this free game has... but you want to remove them without paying for Premium to remove them?

This has actually been fixed by Pang. I think there was confusion when folks were saying ads, it was popups. Thanks for the headsup!
