I thought Christ was the Ultimate Pop-Up Blocker?

I find it rather irritating. I think it would be wiser to put them at the bottom, so as people are writing their posts they will inevitably read them, but it feels slightly less obtrusive.

so wait, we cant advocate ad blockers... but the google ads can? they seriously might wanna talk to google about this...

and since it depends on clickthrough wouldnt something actually relevant be more happy than "contextual" google ads

oh, and since a good deal of the frequent posters here are smart people... well, how many of you have ever actually clicked on a google ad anywhere? lets be honest here.
EDIT: in fact, have you ever seen one that was even the slightest bit relevant to your interests or the page you were looking at at the time?

I've never clicked on the google ads. Usually it is easier and more helpful to just do a google SEARCH.

Ads by Google:
Pop Up Blocker
Prayer of Salvation
Calvary Bible Church
Bible Sermons
Bible Tracts

...What's with all the Christianity ads? I mean, I don't mind the ads at all, but they seem to be trying to get you to convert, for me at least.

EDIT: While I'm typing this my finger is kind of limp. I wish I could take something to help it be nice and stiff. Also, it could be a little harder.

At least it's not like gamespy where everytime they use the word 'game' it links you to a place to buy games. Also, it makes for a great forum game, trying to get the ads to say something completely contrary to the thread at hand while still posting in context. Viagra!
those type of ads are annoying, glad you guys don't do it, it's especially annoying when you're trying to read something and the stupid add won't close

Are you secretly promoting thread derailing?

I never thought I'd see the day. =P

Could have had them at the bottom instead of it popping up in the middle...
But yeah, it's WAAAAY better than those ones that jiggle constantly or yell at you.

No, you're missing the point, the fun part is staying in the context of the thread and sneaking in words that make google show a certain kind of advertisement.

As far as adverts go they are fairly inoffensive now I've gotten used to them.

I understand the point wilson, I was just having some fun with you. That's why I edited in secretly in discreet italics. Though your idea is fun it's just a matter of time before someone, while remaining on topic or in context, mentions...
