Adverts!

Post by Fljotsdale »

I'm sick of these damnation adverts that keep popping in your face. :mad:

Ok, I know you need 'em to pay for the site, but do you HAVE to have such obtrusive, annoying, smack-you-in-the-face bloody adverts?
I stopped coming here because of it. Now I'm back and it's worse than ever

If there is a particular ad that's causing trouble, let me know and I'll notify our ad supplier (UGO) about the situation and try to have the ad pulled from our rotation. Aside from that, though, there's not much I can do. Without the ads, we wouldn't be able to continue operating.

Yeah, I know, Buck, you have to have ads. They vary, though, and pop out to cover a big aresa of the screen so you can't see to navigate. I don't mind the ones round the edges, it's the ones that silently scream LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! not by what they say, but by their obtrusiveness. They really pee me off.

I notice you reduced the size of my text. :angel: Pity! :mischief:

Hey, GOOD!

Heh! I was just hit with one I could actually CLOSE!

Most of the ones with a close button just switch you straight to a site when you hit it.

Well done! :)


(no, I'm only half sarcastic - mostly pleased!)
