    The Ads are getting out of control!!



    I mean what the hell....get rid of the IBM ad or pretty soon you will have nobody actually at this site to view or click the ads which you generate revenue from!!

    I mean I can hardly type this post without that IBM ad in the way

    Why don't we use them?

    Because this site is FREE!

    This place doesn't run on its own so if I use this site I will leave most of the ads on and click on them from time to time. It is the decent thing to do. Well can't expect decent from you Zybch

    I don't mind the ads so much(don't click on the bastards anyway) but this particular IBM ad seems very intrusive...

    Actually...to be honest most of the ads are gone on my screen due to a different Ad blocker program.

    That IBM one is carp

    The ad has been reported. A reminder, discussion of ad blocking software/techniques is not permitted on the forum.

    You have to be schlitting me! The AUP states that?!
    They aren't ads, they're irritating annoyances that only serve to pee people off!
    I'd be prepared to bet that nobody here has ever actually clicked on one of them, especially not stupid HUGE content covering ones like IBM like to push onto us.

    Ads done the way google does (with adsense) are just fine, huge monstrosities ARE NOT okay in ANY circumstance!

    You think I'll ever buy an IBM product/service if they can't even make an ad that doesn't make me want to ram a baby puppy's head through my monitor to get rid of it!!!

    I pay good money for my internet access, I refuse to have to pay more via intrusive ads to access content. Its akin to paying your $12.50 to go to a movie and have it interupted every 15-20 minutes by deodorant and cat food advertisments!

    I don't want to discuss the techniques and I do click on ads and visit sites supporting this site occasionally. Or the site will be no more.

    Thanks, that's appreciated. We don't actually make money from the clicks per se, but it's good that someone sees em.

    Thing is for such a tech savy forum we should all know how to surf this site w/o getting slammed.
    Most people think,
    Great God will come from the skies,
    Take away everything
    And make everybody feel high.
    But if you know what life is worth,
    You will look for yours on earth:
    And now you see the light,
    You stand up for your rights. jah!
