[Neosage]

You don't get any Google ads though it seems to annoy a lot of site owners.

The parts of his post he was banned for were removed (either by himself or by a mod, I don't know)
The rule seems to be that you don't mention any kind of ad-blockers, or you get poked with a very sharp stick.

I say, that all users, should rise against the Admins!!! Or at least, tell us how we become omnipotenet dieties like they are!!!

P.S. Pretty Please?

Nah I'm good, I like it here, and the adverts no longer irritate me.

I'll bet that the ad on this thread will read, "looking for ads? Look HERE!"

...or some of those stupid smiley ones or something.

Say Something!....What?

 

[Conqueror Kenny]

I can live with them. I sometimes get a laugh out of how stupid some of them are. I just had to click on the one that said "Sell you car, for FREE"

 

[Dudemeister]

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!

Lol, thats funny. peniscake!

Never mind....*laughs*

Get (mumble mumble mumble) It blocks all ads.

Goodbye then.

Edit: as in, "goodbye Axia777 who didn't read the rules already stated in this thread about mentioning (mumble mumble mumble)," not "goodbye ads, I'm going to to take Axia777's advice"
[sup]Besides I don't have (mumble mumble)[/sup]

I lost a little respect for the site when i saw them, i hate those sloppy google ads.

Perhaps they could be altered in a way to blend in more with the forums? Like a regular posting from a "google-ads" forum name or something.

I see an ad for a ad/pop-up blocker, thats good good advertising.

I am glad I don't see that. *wink wink*

LOL.

As I look at this thread now it goes:
"Ads by Google: Pop-up blocker, Ad blocker, Pop-up blocker, second coming of Christ"

Lolwhat?

Their adverts seem rather flacid. Perhaps there is someway they could design a pill for adsense to last longer.

(c'mon people help me change these ads!)

It'll be a stiff challenge, thats for sure, lasting long in these conditions is a competitive task. One sniff of that stuff-blocker and the hard times just start rolling those poor sites that need adverts to stay the distance. They try to please their users, but they just run out of steam too early. They need something to help keep them in the game.

Something to stiffen their resolve. Harden their resilience, lengthen and engorge their page hits.

But what?

Viagra. That's what. Subtlety my blue, shiny ass.

You're my hero.

Viagra. Viagra. Viagra. Viagra. Viagra. Viagra. Erection problems!

But seriously now, do they have to be in the middle of the page?! I like Larenxis's idea. Why can't we put them to the side or under the page so it's not right in our faces. Plus it looks horrible and is so annoying. I know I'm bound to acceidently hit one while looking through posts one day.

I think that is kind of the idea. If you want to avoid the danger, just keep your cursor to one of the sides. /smirk

The only problem with that plan is that it makes the ads so unobtrusive they don't actually get many clicks, which is the whole point. Personally, I find the big banner ads more annoying, since they ruin the aesthetic of the forums with big splashes of colour where the theme here is a whit, grey and blue. The new ads at least fit this aesthetic enough that I can explain them away.

I thought Christ was the Ultimate Pop-Up Blocker?
