what's with the ads?

robbydadrummer	Date: May 14, 2004 @ 5:15 PM now there are large square ads next to where we type on the forum posts? i prefer the flat ones on the bottom. they were less intrusive...
ICF	Date: May 14, 2004 @ 5:22 PM Yeah i think the idea is to get you to subscribe
fu-dog	Date: May 14, 2004 @ 5:28 PM Part of the idea is to get users to subscribe, yes. We need to be able to support the costs of maintaining the site, and we'd also like to afford the added expenses of growing the site. I do apologise for these new giant squares you're seeing. You'll probably be coming across the occasional long banners as well; we're somewhat at the mercy of what the advertises wish to display. These ads do indeed go away if you subscribe.
mtekk	Date: May 14, 2004 @ 6:42 PM Yeah I wouldn't mide the ads, but the fact that they create large gaps of empty space in the interface when mozilla FireFox renders it i looks like crap.
woodhead	Date: May 14, 2004 @ 9:08 PM I dont have see any of those problems, hmm wonder why?? oh yea I subscribe
RyanS	Date: May 16, 2004 @ 2:15 PM One thing I would like to say is this. Having a few ads here and there are fine, but don't go overboard with them. One at top and one at bottom is fine, but don't turn this into a Yahoo. I can't stand that in between every paragraph of text is a friggin' ad. :x BTW mtekk, if you use the Adblock extension for Firefox, it doesn't look as bad as just blocking the images. Hell anymore half of them are Flash, which is friggin' annoying as hell, which made me switch to Adblock. I was using Proxomitron, but got tired of having some sites work with it, especially DMusic.
