No, I didn't notice it. My localhost proxy blocks it. But there's an interesting discussion taking place in the Announcements/Feedback forum about this that's worth a look!

Since I've never really looked in this forum before, are iNet likely to take any notice?

I was thinking they probably could get another 8 to ten adds across the top. That of course would leave no room for the actual forum but hey, business is business.

Lol. Ok then. Well - we should just keep letting people fill this thread... they may realise eventually - especially if we all change the host file to block it?

i had seriously considered advertising here, but it seems to me that no matter what you do, something like this always happens. for the prices charged here i can do some serious offline marketing and do some serious mailings as well. im not interested in "branding opportunities" im interested in sales.
id really like to "confidentially" get some ctr and conversion numbers from some people here though, as i may be very very wrong...if you haven't considered chapter 7 bankruptcy, maybe you should.

Ah, I see.
But surely Site5 won't pay for it if they're getting no impressions.0

Just a quick note for those with the scrolling problem. I am using the new OPera 8 and I can shrink the browser down so it is only half the width of the screen and I still don't have horizontal screen.

You have to admit. It's good marketing. I wonder who suggested it and what iNET charged for it.
I don't see the top banner anymore. My eyes are drawn to the site5 bar. Very smart.

I'm pretty upset about paying for banners on the top spot and not receiving them. Had I known this was going to be there I would have never purchased them! I'm seriously considering creating a banner that says "What is Neuralgia?" Than "Who cares that's why we sell Hosting and not dictionaries!"

Like a "watermark?" I've seen that used on a car mboard where a logo stayed in the corner all the time. The ad at issue is actually 2 small images and blocking them gives this red line going across the type.

Loaded up WHT today, thought someone used my pc (work) and somehow had gotten a damn toolbar on my browser (firefox). Then I realized its a damn AD!
It's an eyesore. It's overkill. It's just plain ugly. Never thought I'd be one to say it, but Bye Bye WHT ads.

Those ain't gonna work on my computer either. As far as I'm concerned, go for it!

Now back to the subject at hand.
I personally don't advertise here, or for that matter anywhere else, so I haven't been taking notice of the adds, now consequently I have been more or less forced too, which has led me to permanetly banning adds, I assume there will be a number of other doing similar. What use are all the adds if people ban them anyway. I would be thinking seriously about spending my advertising dollar else where

I guess I don't understand what the noise is.
One click of my mouse wheel and it's no longer there.
Is it really that obtrusive?There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.0
