About 9 out of 10 times I click on the PA main page from my favorites, Firefox tells me it's encountered an error and has to close. It's just before one of the sidebar or top banner ads loads up, when it's still a white box. Every once in a while i'll get through.
IE seems to have the same problem, except it just locks up my PC for two minutes before letting me End Task it.
I too have been experiencing this problem for the past week or more. Although the forum mods are probably reluctant to suggest it, and I'm reluctant to use it on this particular site, you can use firefox addon Adblock to circumvent the ads. Tools -> Extensions -> Get More, if you don't have it already. I really enjoy the ads on this site because they pertain to things I really want to see rather than just "local girls in my area just waiting to bone me", the latter of which being the usual target of my adblock smart bomb. However if I have to disable ads for the time being so that I can enjoy my PA then that's what I'll do.
I've noticed the hangups I get are from a pa.penny-arcade url. I guess that's where the ads come from, but though I'd post it if it matters.

It comes from loading the ad on the right of the front page. I can reproduce this over and over again, and if I stop the front page from loading halfway, it's fine.

Honestly, I'm wondering if this site could be any more consistently and thoroughly fucked up.
