This board has banner ads everywhere as it is... and from what I've heard, they aren't cheap
It's not like us 'shitheads' aren't already paying the bills by viewing (and clicking) the existing banner ads.
But those popup flash banners are the absolute worst.
A lot of big companies use them.. I think I've seen Amazon and maybe even Ebay do things like that. I cringe every time. I would rather be spammed in email than have a big "takeover banner" come attacking me.
Apparently there is a hard to see "close" link on the top right by the girls hair tho. Having to refresh to get rid of it is a shame.
But IMO, popup flash banners like that are a slap in the face to your users.
Between the email to all GFY & Adult.com members and a "Sticky" topic I think it woudl have been more tasteful and gotten the point across just as well.
Anyway forgetaboutit. It's Lensman and Playboy, whatcha gonna do?
