I thought I paid not to see this crap.....

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

ummm...i don't see anything? :confused:

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Yeah I realize you guys need to advertise but I think premium users should be able to disable them or something.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

LOL....premium memberships are the bunk, man.....

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

The top bunk, you mean.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

No you paid for that snazzy avatar.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

:lol: Premium memberships. :lol:

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

I get they want to have the logo there since the section is sponsored, I'm fine with that. I'd just be happy if they'd come up with a logo that's the right size and shape to fit into the forum's design, like Right Stuf with the anime section. That Iron Weed ad messes the design up and is a major eyesore.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

..That I can't see since I turned that feature off. ;)

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

And now we have this in the Bargains section:

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

As long as we get Blu Bargains, I'm cool with a sponsor image there.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Love the gigantic INETVIDEO banner at the top of the page. Wish Premium users could turn off all this garbage.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Just noticed that as well. Though if the site's going to have sponsors and the like, I don't mind the size/placement of this one.


Edit to add: Except I hadn't noticed it on the main page, only in the heading of the individual bargain threads. :(

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

iNet one is not bad (DVD Bargains) but the gigantic banner is pretty annoying.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

I just got a Netflix pop up window. Glorious. :rolleyes:

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

I did as well earlier. I thought it was from another site I was browsing. WTF is going on?

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Soon, Tech Talk is going to be sponsored by

I also got the netflix pop up. Great way to improve the site IB!

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

I thought all of this was supposed to be blocked for logged-in premium users?

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

I'd love to know the actual numbers on what it costs to run DVDTalk and what the revenues are.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Not enough to pay me a salary. :p

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Ya know, at least we don't have that fucking advertisement that haunted us a year or two ago for that stupid horror film.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

I throw a dollar in your tip jar each time I log out, you're getting that, right?

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Didn't I hear that film was actually pretty good? I haven't watched it yet, but picked it up when it hit $5 at Best Buy.

Maybe ads do work.....

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Well, I suppose it was only a matter of time. I can tolerate the large ad, obnoxious as it is, but if we start getting popups, I'll have to browse elsewhere.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Hey, popups! Yay! That makes my internet experience complete!

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

We can complain all we want and it's not going to make any difference. The only way to effectively show displeasure would be to stop visiting the site.

IMO, we're nowhere near there yet.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

I agree with tracer, but I won't be paying a premium member donation to get ads. That's stupid.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Ditto. And that is beside that all we've got for being a premium member is an avatar and a dead forum.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Well it did when people politely voiced their opposition to ads with audio and intertextual pop-ups. We haven't had any of the former after the contractually obligated campaign ended and IB removed the latter. I'm not saying the IB is great and wonderful, but give them credit where credit is due.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

If anyone wants to Paypal me $20 I will change my avatar to anything you want (within forum guidelines). I make roughly 200 posts a week so it's a pretty good deal!

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Yeah, I honestly don't care about banners and the little icons....but the pop-ups? Really? I thought I had accidentally hit something with my thumb on my iPhone and it popped up but no, and now after being on the forum for a few minutes, and as I was reading this, I got another netflix pop-up. What. The. Fuck.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

Since I just upgraded to premium recently, this makes me feel particularly poopy.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

I haven't seen the pop-up. Count me in as one of the lucky ones.

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

I haven't seen it either. Are you guys who see it logged in at the time?

Re: eyesore - please remove - kthnxby.....
 

lol @ paying for premium and still having to deal with ads.
