I don't see the banner thanks to uBO, but pumping links traffic through Tumblr is a red flag for me.

don't they use Tumblr as the blog-engine?

Yeah this is a Tumblr blog with a custom domain. Not sure I understand the gripes from the other posters.

I don't either. No pop ups and the back button works fine.

Same here but I'm using noscript so I assume that's why.
