Revenge of the banners

Is it just me, or is everyone who was enjoying banner free surfing as part of the 'earned site benefits' package got their banners back? Is this feature being discontinued? Or is it just a glitch?

Anyone know?

dunno ntsa its the same at my end to :( and it wasnt long ago i got banner free surfing oh well its only a small ad any way

i don't get the ad just a giant place holder. i thought i wasn't connecting for a while all i had was a white screen

I just got ad free but I'm seeing the new ad too...
At least it's not an anoying pop-up...

Just get Proxomitron and you can surf this site with no banners.

wait a second,

just kidding

Welp, ntsa, I noticed that as well. I got the little techforless banner right now, so I think it's a glitch. Unless the feature/benefit was discontinued. I'm not sure, but nice lookout.

I assume you are talking about the techforless banner. It is a temporary thing for those of us with banner free surfing. I don't know the entire story, but I guess JP got something set up wtih them that if they got x number of clicks, they would hook up AO with really good deals or something. The company really isn't that bad though, so you might want to check em out.

can someone please give me the address that the ad comes from so i can rem it out in hosts, this is really annoying me...please and thank you in adv.

ive attached a screen shot if anycares to see.

gaze and have mercey!

hehe their not paying for the ad and its on a trial run... its only temp so jp gets lotso clicks and they send him cool toys for ao in return :)
hehe and i would like to finish with a i told you so jp

I don't mind the loss of banner-free stuff... I usually have a bit of bandwidth to spare--opening a ton of new topics and reading the first as the rest load. Now, I draw the line at popup ads... :) But Opera helps in that respect.

Yeah.. I don't REALY mind the banner, it's just that the Blue on bright Green doesn't fit in the purple yellow picture ;)


Woops... them colours make me :chuck:

Hey - If it helps pay for the fine service AO offers then it's fine by me - Just wondered is all :)

I was not bothered with those banners in the first place, but the re-occurance of them made me start wondering ... Last night, JP was able to tell who did, and who didn't click on that banner - a function that will remove the banner once someone has clicked on it will probably increase the amount of people that actually click on it, since there's a direct gain for the people that have to click on it. You could implement that function to show the banner just once, or once each session ...
