I was checking out one of the pearls of wisdom of gustavratzenhofer, the philosopher of A2K. All of a sudden, out of the blue, an ad for Febreze scrolls down over Gus' immortal words, and I am faced with an ad for some cockamamie product.

Now I have seen these types of ads before, on other websites. Usually, there is either a place to "X" it out, or it scrolls back quickly. This one stayed over Gus' pearls of wisdom, for what I perceived was an interminable amount of time, before it went back from whence it came.

Wassup??

I thought, by your title, that Febreze was a new member!

Could this be a philosophical sign from the heavens to keep his words sweet smelling?

You saw an advertisement. The good news is you probably made the site 5/100ths of a cent with that sacrifice.

PS - Hellifino what I'm supposed to be helping with here, lemme know if you had something in mind.

Craven- Duh! I knew that. What I questioned was that I had never seen one like that on A2K...............one that stayed on so long!

The only reason that I brought it up, was that I know sometimes your advertisers put on stuff of which you don't approve, and then you work it out with them. I thought that the Febreze ad might fall in that category.

P.S. I have not seen it since!

Well, I've never seen it.

If it was triggered by rollover then it's ok. Even if it's not it's bot really in the really hated category.

Keeping them out both takes a lot of time and reduces the means for monetization, I'm inclined not to take issue with it based on your description. I'll have a look later though.

Yeah, it was. The difference between it and others that I have seen of that type, was that as far as I could see, there was no way to "X" it out. Also, I have never seen ads of that type that stayed on for such a long time.

It might just have needed to lose "focus".

Clicking on a part of the page away from it might have done so.

As long as it was passive and activated by you (as opposed for going for the open-the-trenchcoat-on-em-quick thing) I'm fine with it.

Bill, consider the fact that there have been over 10 million advertisements on this site in the last week alone.

You do the math.

That, along with his web cam busines is making Craven a very wealthy man.

Perhaps sarcasm is best left out of this particular equation.
