The word "powerful" in this post is green with lines under it. When my mouse scrolls over it, an ad pops up. This is the most annoying thing I have seen. When was this implemented? As far as I knew, all Premier Members and Staff were not subjected to this. One of the perks of purchasing a Premier Membership. If this is a new revenue tool, I believe I speak for everyone when I say: No one wants to see these pop up ads....

That's why I use ad block with firefox. Don't have to deal with all the that stuff. Works great and highly recommend it.

Cool, we've brought it to IB's attention in the staff section. It's focking annoying as hell. Members like myself, who mainly surf at work, do not have the luxury of installing software to rid this nuisance....

IB really has no clue on community relations. After yesterdays drama of all of us leaving, they now reinstate ads into premier members.? I don't get their logic.

Seems PM means less and less every day

vo7848 · 07-17-2008, 09:49 AM

Those ads do nothing more than trash this $hit out of this place. No paying member wants to see that trash...

That was one of the main benefits of being a PM. AG is dying the raffle goes away and now the links return.

Would it be better if "Smells Like Teen Spirit" played in the background everytime we hit the refresh button?

Ok, the ads have been removed for everyone temporarily. A hard fix will insue, but only for Premier Members. It's one of the perks. Can't argue there..
