LOL, in a nutshell.

I think contests are cool too. Re-read my first post.

I read informative threads, yes of course. But how do you not notice a thread with 10 pages of replies? You look and see this thread with all of these pages and think to yourself "holy shit, what's the deal?" So you read the title and see "Pussy Cash is giving away money!" And then you see it again. And again. And again. And of course you stop reading the title, but all along you know its little goofballs going crazy over the money Pussy Cash is giving away.

I have no idea how you could possibly not notice it unless you can magically tell which threads are good and bad without even reading the title.

I have Flash turned off, which means I pretty much don't see any banners. As I mentioned, I notice the sticky threads and the long ass threads (which I would notice even if they were not contests.) I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Just ignore them. Programs wouldn't run contests if they didn't work.
