pamwinn Posted August 29, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I love cruising. I used to love this BB. I'll never use a TA or buy a transderm scope that advertises on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynbar Posted August 29, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Is everyone else as sick of seeing that ad as I am?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruisey Posted August 29, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I e-mailed our hosts about this subject. Guess what?.......................I got NO REPLY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsulin Posted August 29, 2004 #4 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Sick as can be of that obnoxious ad!! Wonder how much they're paying CC to advertise, and wonder if it's really worth it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margaritagal Posted August 29, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 29, 2004 What's it going to take to get that obnoxious ad off the boards??!! I, too, am sick to death of seeing that big honkin' thing every time I go to a new thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoniaG Posted August 29, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Hate the ad - even hate the product! Makes my vision so blurry I can't read a menu. However, it's kinda like going to work everyday - the price we pay for using these boards and cruising. I do, however, wonder if it couldn't be made just a bit smaller.

SWEETSEA Posted August 29, 2004 #7 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I can understand the need for the ads, but PLEEEESE, cant't it be smaller & NOT at the very top! Most annoying!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsulin Posted August 29, 2004 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Smaller and off to the side would work. Maybe. I remember when this ad was just a pop-up. Now it's graduated into a very obnoxious permanent ad, which only reinforces me to NEVER buy it or recommend it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnmiranda Posted August 29, 2004 #9 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Hey, I'll use that coupon:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mii Posted August 29, 2004 #10 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Hey I use the producet. Works great for me, but I agree I do not like the ad that just pops out at you. But I guess it helps pay for the boards that we get for free. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnql Posted August 30, 2004 #11 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Without the ad revenue, this board wouldn't exist. So, I don't have a problem with any of the ads since it keeps this board free for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonlass Posted August 30, 2004 #12 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Our administrative assistant went nearly blind form that patch for over a week.....I'll continue to happily take my half of a bonine pill instead. If a company wants to advertise there are many less obnoxious ways to do so on this site.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted August 30, 2004 #13 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I agree. There are many distinctive ways to advertise without irritating people or forcing them to scroll down just to read the boards. This ad is completely out of tune with the rest of the board. There's a fine line between getting noticed and angering people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynda90 Posted August 30, 2004 #14 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Laura, if you are reading this thread would you please respond to us. This ad takes up a huge space on this page and if the company realized how irritated we feel, I would think they might make it smaller. Ads are fine and I realize that's what pays for this site, but c'mon the size of this ad is obnoxious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnql Posted August 30, 2004 #15 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Let me preface this post by saying that I can understand people objecting to the ad (its size, placing, etc.), but c'mon now...it takes one keystroke to scroll past it. Just hit your "Page Down" button and you'll skip down immediately to the beginning of a thread (if you're already "inside" a thread) or the first thread of the board (if you're at the board's index of posts). One button and probably less than one second. Is that really unbearable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonlass Posted August 30, 2004 #16 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Depending on what your navigational preferences are, yes it is aggravating. I truly think that if this company knew how obnoxious this add appears, it would change it to a different type.Think about it...who's going to be most apt to purchase more *because of this ad*.......people who frequent these boards.....which, incidently tend to be the ones most bothered by the size and position of this ad.

WCAB Posted August 30, 2004 #18 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I agree, this is too in your face. Sort of like a mother trying to force a spoonful of medicine down a childs throat. Would be a bit more attractive, if it were smaller or came up only once, not at every scroll on a post. Since the intent is to get us to buy their product, I would think they would be interested in our feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombero Posted August 30, 2004 #19 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Maybe they could redesign it, so it would be about 2"x8" so it could go across the top, from side to side :) instead of having that hugh obnoxious gob that takes forever to scroll past. :( . 4"x4", or 2"x8", you still have the same area, and you won't turn everyone off...
