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

Game a day prize 1 enticed many-a user. Bringing it back would once again, re-populate the forums, which, if you do the maths, would mean more people buying memberships and other products from Special Reserve.

Heh, seriously though, who is going to pay £75 a day for a few pop-ups? That is how much it would cost to bring back the other two GADs.

No there aren't.

You've got Adware/Spyware!

Plus the Google toolbar (best thing ever) stops pop-ups!
