Ads In OP of Threads...
6 pages • Page 1
Apparently there are new advertisements on the pages now. One in the first post of every page and then some words are highlighted either advertising or giving some sort of small definition.
Not that it is a big thing but...the advertisement in the first post is kind of annoying, and having random words highlighted is just...well random.
What is everyones thoughts on the new advertisements?

well i have seen it before on the guru home page a few times, the adverts that are highlighted in green that is, they ddn't stay for very long
,
also noticed that Guild Wiki did this at one time, theirs didn't stat for very long either...xD.
-edit it may just me but the time it takes to edit has increases by quite a bit longer than usual.

(lmao!! highlighted that word, search for rival products anyone? )--> Wow, I didn't know Gaile Gray supported RBC Avion Visa. I should get one now since it must be cool, seeing as she's the one next to the image.
Gaile Gray supports some random thing?
Guess I'll be making generic, "I do not support the advertisement in this post." messages now on any that show one. Or pull out my trusty ad blocker again. Or the other choice.

I severely dislike this. So far, I have been supportive of GWG ads, and occasionally click on the banner at the top, ya know, the one out of the way but still noticeable. Now? Well, I just installed the script blocker for FF. Didn't want to do it, but I had to.
The ad in the posts, and the hotlink crap is way too intrusive and annoying, so away it goes. Get rid of it, and I'll get rid of my script blocker and go back to supporting GWG.

You could possibly make it less intrusive by coming around to all our homes and sticking huge billboards up behind our PCs and sticking well known company logos on all our keyboard buttons! Please Please do not keep those irritating "ask.com" links. Every time I move the mouse across the screen loads pop up and it is so so irritating. It also makes me considerably less likely to click on them...therefore the adverts do not work!

I have a suggestion:
Have an option somewhere on the site where we (the forumites) can give donations for site upkeep in exchange for special titles under our name. Seriously, is this possible? I've been looking everywhere on how to contribute, but I can't find anything. So, ya know, if it's there, maybe make it a lot more noticeable.
I'd love to contribute. I seriously think a lot of us would. This is a great site, and I'm sure we all want to see it do well. I just don't think littering it with ads is going to make it any better.

The green links in forum threads are very obtrusive and annoying. For me personally it is simply unacceptable that something I wrote is altered without my approval to become an advertisement. If these green links aren't removed, I'll stop posting on the GWGuru forums and look for a new home, period. I'd hate to do so, because the GWGuru forums are clearly the best GW forums on the internet. Please, there must be other, better ways to advertise. I don't mind banners all over the place. But pop-ups and ad links in editorial content or forums are a no-no.
