Maybe “Fighting Ignorance since 1973” has outlived its usefulness. Do we need a new slogan?
Like “Better Living Through Banners”?
“Boldly Bashing You With Bodacious Banners”?
“Block This!”
Bring 'em on!
My cat’s breath, if I had one and I didn’t despise cats with every inch of my being, would probably smell like cat food.
OR
Oh, geez, not this shit again!
OR
Enough about the banners already! Just download Adblock and shut your piehole!
OR
We’re a bunch of whiny toolbags that have no interest in fighting ignorance at any time as long as we can post 15,000 threads pissing, moaning, and wringing hands about something that can be easily dealt with.
OR
We’re upset because our oppressive bosses won’t let us shut down the noisy banner ads that prove that we’re not working. Fight the power.
Any of those do it for you? :rolleyes:
Ooh, this one!
God Damn it, the banners suck Satan’s ass, but why can’t people seem to confine their bitching to the threads that are already open? Fuck
Banners? What is this talk of banners? Why, I’ve never heard such a thing! I should start a thread…
“SDMB: Same ol’ same ol’”
Monetizing readers since 1973.
Because there are different sub-topics that might work better if separately addressed and some threads are too long already?
Oh, that was a new slogan submission, sorry. Good one.
Now, y’see, the next step is to work the advertised products into the slogan:
– Fighting Ignorance since 1973. It’s taking longer than we thought, so you’ll appreciate returning to the comfort, roominess, and quiet of the 2008 Ford Focus!
– Fighting Ignorance since 1973. But Tylenol Cold Multi-Symptom sticks to fighting cold symptoms. It works faster than you can fight ignorance.
– Fighting Ignorance since 1973. And the fight is much easier when viewed through Microsoft’s new IE7 browser.

The Straight Dope, now with less banning and more banners.
I believe a film quote explains the Reader’s position best:
Show me the money!
Let the fools have their “Tar-Tar” sauce
“It’s going to take longer than we thought - the problem is systemic”
– Fighting ignorance since 1973: Never mind the ads for woo-woo sites! [sup]*[/sup]
- No, I haven’t seen any of those in the new banner ads, but they are common in the Google ones.
Fighting ignorance since 1973 - (it’s taking more money than we thought)
And no, I’m not spending every waking moment obsessing about the banner ads.
Fighting Ignorance
Since Nineteen Seventy Three
Still cheaper than Fark.
Yes, it’s a haiku.
“Punch the monkey to fight ignorance!”
“You’ve WON the fight against ignorance! Click HERE to claim your prize!”
Ladies and Gentledopers, we have a WINNAH!
While I understand your wish to vent on this issue, we already have several threads open on this topic. I’m closing this one.
