1347939 2013-07-03 22:20:00 For instance, boycott the advertiser in this post for sponsoring dumb ideas - - R2x1 (4628)
1347940 2013-07-03 22:22:00 Only post something you want seen in 2nd and subsequent posts. That's easy enough. R2x1 (4628)
1347941 2013-07-04 00:41:00 Or the third fourth or fifth posts maybe :p beetle (243)
1347942 2013-07-04 00:44:00 How about the second post in the second page? :o Cato (6936)
1347943 2013-07-04 01:32:00 Lets be honest, how many of us even look at the adds?
They are a minor irritation at most, I don't even register them most of the time. In order to boycott an advertsier I'd have to start paying attention to the adds to find out who it was.....

I do think they were better placed off to the right instead of taking over what should be the space occupied by the first post, but I'm not going to get upset over it.

1347944 2013-07-04 01:40:00 Well, I can't see the ads, and possibly never will. However, I can't see the first post either, so the idea is to make a practice that works for everybody. PCTech's trick of the second post quoting the first also works and doesn't add the ad. ;) R2x1 (4628)
1347945 2013-07-04 04:13:00 I can live with it in fact my eyes/brain pretty much filter it out. In any event someone has to pay for the Forums "there is no such thing as a free lunch." CliveM (6007)

True. However, if I am compelled to watch ads I will simply leave. Probably why I gave away a near new TV - couldn't stomach the programming competing with the ads.

1347947 2013-07-04 08:44:00 At least they don't have sound. The time PF1 had the Christmas reindeer jingle advert is legendary.

PCs were even reformatted in the effort to stop the PC making this 'weird' noise... :eek:
