I dont mind banners, they dont bother me much as long as they keep this forum alive

For ppl with dsl and faster i can see it is no peoblems, but to 56k it slows down the surfing to less then halv speed and more. As Kathy probley knows i can take upto 1.5 minuts to download a webpage and more if it is hevy on ads. When I go to a web portal it can take upto 3 minuts to get the whole site on my screen, all because of ads. By blocking them out it takes 10-20 second, for the same website!!! That is one of the reason, why I HATE ADS!!

And...

I say these things because, obviously, an intelligent person does not continuously proffer the same argument, but, instead, goes OUT and PROVES their ability to do better...

I can't wait, "Real BS"... I'll even be a moderator for you, as long as Iain can join me...

"I raise you and I call you..."

Up to you now, Really BS...

'urs the curse'

when you try to look wise don't laugh about something you don't know.

web washers like Proxomitron exactly do what you laugh about, they prevent loading of banners. and yes Proxomitron is spyware free. A little Google would have helped you and you looked better when you posted less.

PS: understand how http and image formats work... or simply try a web washer. you'll be suprised how much faster page loading is and how clean web pages can look without disturbing ads. no more annoying blinking banners, no more popups.

You do realize that ad revenue is usually the primary source of revenue for these content providers, right?


They're not using our server resources or bandwidth. They're being served by an ad network.

There's really no reliable way to detect if people are blocking ads. If there was, a lot of publishers would be using it.

I don't particularly like pop-ups, but if sites depend on them for revenue, then so be it. I'm not blocking them.

For those of you that are blocking them, you're hurting the sites that are running them, not the advertisers.

This forum isn't going anywhere. It doesn't cost much to maintain compared to other sites.

I dont block the ads, too much time to do, but I do kill the hell out of pop-ups, so far my pop-up killer has killed over 7,000 pop-up windows, it doesn't block then it just kills them once they load, no harm done.
