Dear mnhq, it's about moving adverts again

If there is another thread about this then I'm sorry. I've had a shufty in site stuff and can't find one.

The thing is I really, really do not like moving adverts over there ->

It doesn't matter what it is, the gurning kid from cbeebies, the Bold man stroking himself, Jackie Chan and a piglet that runs at unnatural speed...

My eye is drawn and it is annoying. It is so annoying that I am actively put off whatever is being advertised.

I know there is some sort of doohickey for hiding ads but I don't want to do that as every now and then I do click on an ad, and I know it's how you generate income.

See I can see a hula hoop ad now that is perfectly still and lovely, oh I see there is a bit flashing at the bottom but that is OK. I am thinking about hula hoops in a positive upbeat way. I do not have the same feelings for Jackie Chan.

the gltc one flashing away does my head in. it's so blocky, i cannot help but be distracted.

oh ho ho

The GLT ad is a series of static pictures, so that is getting through. Mr strokey bold man has gone though and replaced with a button. That is much better than nothing.

Thanks again lenin

ah right am using blocky in different manner to lenin there. i mean block colour. and yy i don't want to ditch ads entirely as it's not in the spirit of a free site imo.
