Sometimes I pub on skial and other servers which have ads. The ads always come on blasting (5x as loud as my normal tf2 sound) so I simply mute for 20 seconds until that shit is over.
I know I can disable HTML MOTD's, but that would also effect logs.tf and ss.
Does anyone know of another method? I've heard I may be able to just block the ad server IP through my computers host file. But I have no idea how I'd find that IP of their ad server(s) short of wiresharking and looking through packets.
Anyone know of a good method for blocking these ads, while still being able to view ss and logs.tf? Possibly is there a way to block all flash/html 5 or something?

You can exit the ad by typing /help in chat. You can also make a toggle for the motd command for when you're in pubs or comp.

bind "=" "cl_disablehtmlmotd 0; echo HTML_ON"
bind "-" "cl_disablehtmlmotd 1; echo HTML_OFF"
"-" and "=" arent necessary, just use any two keys, use html_off while pubbing, and html_on while on match servers, i added echo just so you see it in console if you activated it

Sometimes when the ads are particularly annoying I'll do a quick refresh and stop. Right click on the ad and click refresh and then, before the new ad loads, right click again and click stop.

I have cl_disablehtmlmotd 1 in my autoexec, and then have a bind to enable it and open logs.
bind p "cl_disablehtmlmotd 0; say !log"
Change !log to .ss if you wanna use sizzling stats
