Ad Banners
 

A little poll on the topic of ads and blocking...

Re: Ad Banners
 

On a side note, how much does Shrapnel Games cost, exactly? It is apparently for sale... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Re: Ad Banners
 

You don't have enough options on the poll, you should add this:
"I only block obnoxious, overly large, flash, or noisey ads"

I normally do not block ads, unless they are one of the above. If a website uses such an ad, I block them. I HATE Flash ads, especially ones that make any noise at all. Grrrr...

Unfortunately it is impossible to edit a poll...

I do not care about ads; my eyes are trained to ignore them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Ad Banners
 

Nice eyes, can I borrow them sometimes. Maybe they are effective against fat women on the streets. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Ad Banners
 

I don't really care, so long as they don't block my usage of the page.

Re: Ad Banners
 

The ads, or the fat women?

Re: Ad Banners
 

Ads aren't really much of a big deal. Google does very nicely with pops (over, under, sideways, whatever).
I don't mind little banners at the top or bottom of the page.

I have no tolerance for those floating adds that stick on your browser window, or float across it while you're trying to read.

Re: Ad Banners
 

I dont ever reallly get affected by ads as I really only goto a couple sites. When I do venture off to find something I generally can ignore all ads but those annoying pop up ads that block the screen, when i used to have internet explorer, I had to disable my connection during the day when I wasn't there because when I would get home there would be 200 or so like pop ups

Re: Ad Banners
 

Perhaps you might want to look into decent browsers that do not allow such crap, like Mozilla Firefox.

Re: Ad Banners
 

It can still happen with Firefox if you have the Flash plugin installed. Solution: don't use flash http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Ad Banners
 

If you have AdBlock running, it can catch stuff like that... worst case you just have to block it.
