Nah, that wont happen untill the legit advertisers start pulling ads and making complaints. Some fail to see the problem, but that's probably because they dont surf GFY as much as the rest.
I have friends who are advertisers here, and all have said the return is extremely low. So really, advertisers sometimes keep the ADs up out of good faith and for the love of this forum. But they are still getting assfucked because of other banners crying for attention with annoying sounds that wont stop. But then again, who can blaim them? They need to be loud to be noticed, I'm sure being placed in such a huge rotation is not fun. Hell, I remember having to refresh a shit load of times to catch the dollars.com banner (I was looking for it)
I also really find it weird that the "big board names" are NOW stepping up on this, because in the past the banners were a lot more annoying and intrusive. Most banners these days are "okay." I even like some of them, mostly Dollars.com. I guess because the sound reflects something related to biz.
Summary:
-People with traffic and brains have flash disabled.
-Advertisers will not get what they pay for, and shit will have a downfall eventually. Somewhere down the line changes will have to be made.
-The board members is what makes this forum function and grow to what it is, not the faulty and non existant features. People who have been here since 2001 have spoken up, doesnt that say something? Remember wen Person A leaves Location A, himself and all his friends will slowly but surely move onto Location B where they are treated better
The above is obviously personal views and random ranting, so fuck off if you feel the need to argue with me.
