    Well, what a horrible feature.

    Most disappointing of iNet.

    I would be steamed if I was advertising with iNet and they went ahead and pulled a stunt like this when I am paying for a top banner spot.

    They need to do a little more thinking before doing something like this...you promise a top banner spot, you give a top banner spot. All the are doing now is false advertising.

    Sorry, really dislike using adblock on sites like WHT, but that and the toolbar? The ad had to go.

    Yeah, I see one of UH's banners too, but it's kinda hard to really see it with that red banner above it.

    I also find the banner ad annoying and intrusive. It has also meant that WHT loads up slightly slower than usual.
    I'm surprised that WHT allowed the banner to be placed in such a prominent area.

    Good idea as far as "talk" and exposure goes.
    They'll get plenty of that...

    1280x1024 with IE has bottom scroll.

    What I don't understand is this super what ever. I's only hosting with a ton of storage and bandwidth for a lower price than others...big deal or did I miss something.

    Maybe we should change our banner to say...

    "sick of annoying webhosts who spend more time coming up with annoying marketing than running stable servers"

    haha.

    Oh wow! I just looked at eMax's screenshot. I had no idea there was another banner up there! Here I am wondering what all the fuss is about. My Proxomitron-inspired world of blissful ignorance is becoming a more beautiful place to live every day

    I did understand iNet looking for extra revenues and Site5 looking for maximum exposure for their new thing.

    What I am interested to know is if the present ad buyers can ask for some refund for not getting the top banner.

    So far, we had read comments from UH and Rochen.

    Just curious.

    It's unfair to make a comment like that, as you have no proof that their marketing efforts negatively effect their management of their servers.

    I totally agree. I've not had a major problem with the ads on WHT and I'm happy to leave them on in support for iNet (I occasionally see something interesting a click one) but this is just too much.

    rotator.juggler.inetinteractive.com is now set to 127.0.0.1 in my hosts file to remove all ads on my WHT as I was starting to feel dizzy with all the junk up at the top.

    FWIW I'd be miffed too if I have paid for ad's on that 'top' banner spot.

    Jim_UK - I've done the same:

    127.0.0.1 rotator.juggler.inetinteractive.com
    127.0.0.1 www.inetinteractive.com (gets rid of the other side)

    I'll remove that when the Site5 bar at the top goes. It's most annoying.

    That's a good idea actually . I agree that we do not need banners of any type plastered all the way across the street as if it is some useless toolbar.
