"SR Adverts"

You've probably noticed that SR only advertise their own products and of course, without doubt, this is a good thing. I'm sure it's even an incentive almost to new users when they notice that they're not being bombarded with pop-ups or banner adds for some casino everytime they visit the site. However, would you complain if SR started to advertise for other companies IF it meant the return of the 'lost GADs'? (the cheats and chat GADs)

I'm not talking a billion pop-ups a second or a page laced with banners - just one pop-up every so often or a banner add in the member details box. It wouldn't annoy me, I'd welcome it if it meant that adverts paid for the return of the other GADs (in theory it wouldn't annoy me anyway). But what do YOU think? Would you be put off coming to the forums because of adverts or would you visit MORE because of the higher chance of winning a GAD??

By the way, this is just a question asked out of interest by me

you say it like it didn't happen before - customers bought stuff and that paid for the 3 GADs, surely....it still pays for the remaining GAD.... unless you steal the games...

Just think about that for a second.

my mate had Aol and he couldnt get rid of the AOL search bar that was permenantly underneath his URL box.

Come to think of it, he was pretty stupid.

Ummm...no.

Ah right, thats not too bad then!

You get the AOL search bar up all the time though dont you?

£15.99, im on anytime dial up.

I have Zone Alarm running all the time and it has a firewall so I dont need one.

I keep getting a popup on msn for "byebyeads.com" it gets annoying grr!

Only the crap ones. Before i got the firewall i used this free one and it stoppped EVERYTHING from coming up. Even if i clicked on a link that was supposed to bring up a new window it wouldn't allow it.

I advise to get norton firewall. The ad blocker is really good and it's lso got a firewall :D

It may stop the pop ups which do what? save about 10 minutes a day... But AOL alone causes about 50 hours of lag a day... for one peson.
