I saw it and it was really annoying. I would have signed up for premium at the discount rate if they told me they were going to introduce ads before videos played, bordered ads around playing videos and to top it off have all of it in eye bleeding colours.

Never seen an ad like that. You must be going mad.
That's because you're in the Publisher's Club you muppet
Already replied to this. Read up.
yes, but you didn't reply to me...
I don't bother logging in when I check the videos in free periods at school. I see ads then.
There you are :)

You mean the one on the Zero Punctuation videos?

Yhea it is annoying.
I know you try to go to full screen and you end up with one episode that has the music still playing and another with him talking, both at the same time.

And not to be a grammer nazi but it's spelled Yeah

I've seen these ads here on the Escapist, in fact, there the ONLY ads that run anymore, and I fucking hate them, rarely do ads annoy me, but these make me feel like i'm getting gang banged by a bunch of Skittle people with strobe light's attached to them.


It's especially bad when watching ZP.

Yeah, I know The Escapist needs them for ad revenue but now it seems like they're just trying to kill they're epileptic userbase.

Oh god yes! I hate that add. Its so annoying and the loud colors make my eyes hurt >_<.

Who ever came up with that add needs to be tossed out of their marketing department.

Exactly what I'd expect from the people at EQ. It doesn't surprise me, given how desperate they are to bring back the old players...

=I Sorry bucko'. Cataclysm will crush you.

Man, it took me three attempts to get what you were trying to say here - I'm no grammar nazi, but still "annoyed by this ad" isn't all that hard (and i's nowhere near y):p

I really have no problem with ads on websites - click-through traffic is a way to raise revenue because nothing is ever for free.

I do faithfully promise that if the adverts become offensive to view - particularly if they flash or are of a hideous enough design that my eye is drawn there over and over again - then I will turn the ads off for good. It's not nice I know and I appreciate that there are bills for bandwidth and hosting etc. Keep them discrete, keep them in keeping with the website they appear on and I may even click on them....

I didn't like it, but The Escapist needs advertising to survive, so I took no real issue with it.

That does sound rather odd, an add in Engrish. I haven't seen it though, maybe you can post a screenie of it?

And after that you join up with us Dutchies, and we'll be a happy cuddly family of cheese and chocolate! And then we'll wage war on the entire continent of Europe, AND RULE THE WOOOOORLD!!!

Yeah, I wondered what was with that ad too. I am more perplexed by the massive amount of ads for sixflags, one with the dancing guy, which I'm pretty sure someone has as an avatar.

LOL I keep forgetting to spell check my posts :p and even if I did my spelling isn't that good but at least would me more understandable. Thanks, I'll never misspell annoyed again xD.

Oh you people from the Netherlands, always so strangely kind!
As long as you share the cheese and windmills, it's all good!
