809012 2009-09-11 11:22:00 Ads are the reason websites exist, so I have no issue with their existence and strongly discourage the use of ad blocking software. However, the new layout makes them a bit intrusive, putting them on the right would look much better. maccrazy (6741)

809014 2009-09-11 11:53:00 New CSS script here (pressf1.co.nz) for those who like their forum layout somewhat sane.

Everything mentioned above has already been suggested on numerous occasions and several levels, through every available channel, and has been shot down or ignored every time. I've given up asking nicely :groan:.

809015 2009-09-11 17:19:00 I just wish it were a zone decision as I cannot and will not ever use a NZ supplier since the shipping and handling charges would drive any discounts and/or prices up by 200%.

I case you (the advertisers) don't know it - I am in the US. I treat US advertisers the same way, so it's not personally directed toward NZs general monetary welfare.

As it is, I personally chose to NOT buy from people who throw their crappola into my face and will make a special effort to avoid them at all costs and even at greater expense for me.

Any advertisers beware: I don't like your advertising attitude and will never buy from you if you don't get out of my face.

If it were possible, I would send you $10.00USD (which is prolly $2,567.09NZD) to keep the ads away.

Where do I sign up? To whom do I make the check payable?

809016 2009-09-12 00:15:00 If they remove the ads who will pay to keep this great site going ?

Would we have to start buying the magazine again ?

Website hosting does not cost much money. But I am not sure how much a site like this with forum and bandwidth etc.

The other thing would be to click on the ads once or twice a day, so that PressF1 would get some income from Google. And if we clicked enough the advertisers might find that they did not want to advertise any more !

809017 2009-09-12 00:34:00 I think the concencus is... If my browser received ads I sure wouldn't be visiting here.

I think this topic has bas been covered so many times that by now I'm sure that there's no doubt that most savvy users block ads one way or another.

PF1 - either quit the ads or eventually fail this website or lose all your visitors.

809019 2009-09-12 02:01:00 How about they move the ads to the right. And center the forum (titles etc), the ads aren't nearly as annoying on the right. Cato (6936)
809020 2009-09-12 05:34:00 This forum has gone crazy, not the members the AD PLACERS! It puts me off being here, I run adblock but still leaves a horrible offset to the right. radium (8645)
