where did that comment come from

Have you seen some of those Yahoo ads?

that has nothing to do with this forum, i dont think yahoo would advertise here

 

[Blank Verse]

It's not neccessarily Yahoo, but ads of that magnitude are scary, so if someone wanted to pay for that type of ad here, well, that would really suck.

Perhaps you need to increase your resolutions?

It really doesn't seem that large at all to me. Also keep in mind this is a free forum so advertising is to be expected. If you don't want to see the ad I have a great idea, contact Peo and offer to pay for a month of advertising and then decline to place an ad there for the month.

With the rate FreeWebspace.net is growing at I'm impressed it only has this much advertising. I'm sure Peo could obtain sponsors for just about all the sections on the forum.

Trust me, these ads aren't that bad. Just be thankful there isn't an ad-covered splash page before entering every forum.

 

[Blank Verse]

Oh, I totally agree, these ads are more than bearable. the netfirms one may be a little large by this site's standards, but I've seen (and been annoyed by) far worse.

The worst I think is still Multimania's on the FWS last time.

how does their ads look like?

 

[Blank Verse]

you get a couple of pop ups every page.

 

[anhedonia]

And they're vaguely porn-related, ugly, huge and hard to close.

 

[Blank Verse]

Porn related? It's been a while since I've been at a Virtual Ave site, I guess.

 

[anhedonia]

Well not exactly porn...But you know, chicks draped over the banners suggestively, advertising stuff that's got nothing to do with their presence. That kind of lame stuff.

 

[Blank Verse]

Ah..the stuff that actually sells....gotcha

 

[anhedonia]

... To people who are sad and gullible.

This thread has really strayed of the topic of advertising on these forums

Have you all noticed the new ad in general discussions?

Yes, I have. I just have one question...Can I even trust an Aussie hosts at all? I haven't had very many real-life experiences (in fact, I have had none) with smart Aussies. Don't worry, I'm not talking about you guys. I can't judge your intelligence simply over a message board.
