Obnoxious ads

[Michael Morris]

* As to me "circumventing the 'payment'", I submit that it's unreasonable of you to expect free use of my computing resources as part of your business model. If you were providing the computer I'm using, you might have cause to complain.

There are always two computers involved in the providing of content over the internet - a client and a server. We provide the server. Do you think the server and its connection to the internet is free? These must be paid for in order to provide the content your enjoying here.

Well, that's a bit patronizing. I'm quite well aware of basic Internet architecture, thank you very much.

Getting back to the core issue: Please take down the excessively obnoxious ads, and please let me know if you ever take the particular ad I've complained about. As I've said, I'll only keep your ads blocked as long as I believe that you're server offensive ones.

Guys, please read generously! Everyone in this forum is only here because we like EN World.

Group hug? (And maybe less flashy ads? )

Cheers, -- N

In this wonderful world of ads that jump to the front, expand across a screen, make noise and find other ways to be generally annoying, I would rather have a banner ad that is easily ignored.

EN World II ad blocking for CS accounts? Sounds like a great idea, with the side effect that should your account lapse, it will be noticable a lot faster than one day realizing that the search option isn't available.

I'd pay extra for the ad-blocking over and above the CS account.

As previously advised, this is not going to happen.

You won't need to - we plan to include it. I don't think it'll be a launch feature, though - but it'll come.
