It's been like that for years at JDJ though, and really every other Sys-Con property is the same too. Completely lame, and I won't visit any of their sites because of it. In my case at least, they are'nt quadrupling their money with more ads, because I won't even click on a Sys-Con link anymore. And, as a previous TSS interview with Hani noted when this same subject came up, I don't think you or I (or the other commenters here) are alone in our consternation: "What do you think of Syscon JDJ?" His response: "It's a good ad. It's a pretty ad. I have managed successfully, and I don't think many people can claim this, to actually unsubscribe from everything they have and I don't even get the free magazine anymore and I am very proud, it took a lot of effort."

It screams "SPAMTRAP" from the moment you hit the front page. Yeah, surely JDJ hurt themselves with this? It screams “SPAMTRAP” from the moment you hit the front page.

The JDJ website is the single worst Java resource on the web for the simple reason that you never get to the content because of all the damn adds! I agree 100%!
