Stupid adverts. Now I'm considering buying a 'Gorillaz' G shock watch.
No, not really.
Them Victoria's Secrets birds still haven't turned up. I've tagged the thread with that now too, see what transpires.
Obviously all of you with ad block will miss it if it does happen.
It was a message that now pops up when I switch the computer on. Words to the effect that you can speed things up by removing unnecessary add-ons, by which I assume means ad-blockers. Have to confess I haven't noticed much difference in general - I'm just delighted the ads have vanished.Quote:

It knows where each ad is on the screen and it compiles the number of clicks for each position.Quote:

That's what I thought. Makes sense, but I don't really understand the workings of the internet.Quote:

That must be because you're using a 'gas-powered' laptop!:D I get no such message, and neither will anyone else who's not using a computer that's fundamentally slow because of other issues;)Quote:

Bear in mind though, that you'll be competing not just with other members here, some of whom may be interested in the ad content (especially the lingerie fetishists among us:eyebrows:), but also hundreds, possibly thousands, of 'Guests', some of whom also may have clicked to view the ad content... And if they outnumber the 'x' clickers, closing the ads, then the ads will stay put...
On average, AoS gets 9000 page views per day, so the ad software will be influenced by the *collective* behaviour of the total number of visitors. Plus, in terms of the site being able to support itself, we WANT as many folks as possible to click on the ads, and view the content!
