a page of all the banner ads

Is there a page here with all the banner ads that constantly cycle at the top of the page? Many times I've noticed an interesting ad that I'd like to check out just as I've clicked on a new thread. And then I can't jump back to click on the ad because I'll get a new one if I hit the back button. So you'd get a bit more clicking on your ads (from me at least) if, in addition to the cycling banner at the top of the page, I could go to a static page with all you current banners in one place. A page where I could find that "Ooo, that looks cool!... but now it's gone." ad I just missed.

I feel the same. I often notice cool banner ads just as I'm linking. I use Netscape and usually just elect to open each link in a new tab, so it's no longer a problem, but I long ago developed a habit of consciously looking at the banner ads, and when I'm at school and using MSIE, that's the only reason I get to see any ads.

So any chance of getting an ad page?

It happened again- noticed a cool ad just as I left a page and I haven't seen it again. So, as this post title says, IS there any chance of getting an "Ads page"? The ads at the top of the page have shown me several cool things and I click on them often (BTW, this is pretty much the only website where I actually DO click the ads.) but I keep missing some of them.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate such a page, and I'm sure the advertisers would like it as well. You could even do value pricing for ads that ONLY appear on the Ad page and don't rotate thru the top of the page. Are there bandwidth issues with have a page full of ads? I could see that as a problem since most of them are animated.

Anyway, just hoping to hear from a mod on the issue, or some helpful poster that knows the inner workings of banner ads.

I don't know any way of doing that, other than continually updating manually - which I'm not prepared to do!

In theory it can be done - but I've got so many plates spinning I haven't gotten around to it. I will though, I will
