Eh? Something new has been added. (An ad-thingy)

[FalloutJack]

Wow, I didn't know The Escapist was in-touch with it's community like that. In that case keep complaining, and maybe they'll listen again?

Must be to SOME extent. (This is the Mass Effect ads we're talking about, right?) I never actually encountered them because I'd gotten on AFTER the Escapist people went "Ah, sorry for the inconvenience." and yoinked 'em.

I see no ad, the only pop-up i've been getting is for Gaikai and that one is awesome, I was playing Dead Space 2 earlier. From my web browser!

Ah... OK, I know what you're talking about now. I hate those, fortunately it hasn't appeared for me. Hopefully this is another thing that UK Escapists won't get, like those ads everyone was complaining about a while ago.

Funnily enough, the ads in which you speak were removed because enough people found them overly irritating. I have NO PROBLEM with the Escapist making money through ads, but as much as they have the right to use them, I have the right to click a little X button and say "Bye-bye!" to them like every other pop-up. Additionally, I do not use Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, and so on. This bar has no use for me.

Question to publisher club users, do you got this bar? If not I will just upgrade to a publisher account to get rid of it T.T"

This is exactly what you should not be doing. Subscribing to the publishers club because of it's features, or because the site is good, or even because they listen to their community (and remove features like this which people don't like) is fine, but subscribing to avoid new features just encourages The Escapist to blackmail it's users.

Only point I have ever seen in using publisher club, the normal site is more then awesome enough.

What, do you mean this? See that arrow in the bottom corner? You can hide it completely, save for the small arrow that doesn't obscure the screen much at all.

I hate those things too but at least I can hide it.

Yes, I know that, but I want it to be gone. You know, removed completely.

On the very right of the ad should be a hide button.

Go back and read the part where I said "Not hide. Close.". Gone, goodbye, kaput, etc. Jack don't want it, period. Make go away. Do not want. That's all.

OCD meds might work also.

Or not, since that isn't an appropriate statement at all, or to anyone ever.

Guess on a scale of 1 to 85456786452 of how many ads I've seen on since I join the Pubclub? That's right! 85456786451!

But none of them were from The Escapist, so no, I am not seeing Levi's adverts, what ever they are. Know what I do see? A funny comic and the User Motto of the moment. Truly, it feels like I'm a king.

Or just some guy who pays to keep adverts at bay. Either way, flashing my cash at The Escapist is the best decision I've made with "money" and "internet" since I forwarded the Prince of Nigeria some money so he can fly over here and give me my wealth. Shame his flight keeps getting delayed.

Calumon: I blame volcanoes! Jack says it was against the big rules of the whoooooole country for me to go out flying during that time! : (

I got some bad news for you Jack...
