    Big enough ad, SysOpt?

    I've been seeing this on the side of the forum today:



    Quite the ad...

    They're all the same width, which is the only thing we need be concerned with. Length of the ad doesn't affect the forum, width does.

    That things massive, halfway decent adblocker, or a simple configuration of your browser, as stated above should get shot of it though

    It bugs me like anyone else. I know they are a necessary evil, but I gotta be real. If it annoys sysopters, they won't want to come back to the site. In that case, they wouldn't see the ad anyway.
