As I mentioned in my survey entry,. I see them as a necessary evil. I play a lot of free online games (especially for my position as freeware co-ordinator here) and I accept that advertising revenue is what makes these games available free. I'll even accept that they sometimes have to be a bit more intrusive to do that.
I get what TimovieMan says about it being annoying having to sit through an advert before playing. I do think that a lot of online games do these over loading screens (i.e. you'd have to wait to start playing anyway so no time is lost) but that may be partly due to not having super-fast broadband speedds where I live.

Cold Topic
A thread most controversial, that’s what I want to start
Full of impassioned arguments, of posting from the heart
And for this stimulation all will be thankful to me
On come on everybody it won’t work if you agree
