Advertisers & Banners?

I am not a massive fan of all the banners on the front page.

One idea I have is to replace those banners with 'Sponsored by...' text links. Then, within the forum and thread view pages we could add in a larger leaderboard size banner at the very top for the sponsoring advertiser.

This strikes me as a win-win situation becuase it would allow advertisers to create more visually interesting banners whilst simultaneously from the members point of view it would cut out all the banner'tastic ads on the front page.

Thoughts?

Re: Advertisers & Banners?

it works quite well as it is...

i have my links set up so that it opens the new posts page, i only look at the front page when i do a 'mark forums read' or when i want to see a sponsors link.

Re: Advertisers & Banners?

surely those banners are where this site makes it money?

either way i use firefox with ad blocker installed, you can just click what ads not to show and they never reappear
