Seriously folks, you pay the money to post here because you like posting here; the community is one you enjoy, otherwise you’d be elsewhere. Banner ads are not all of a sudden going to change the nature of this board. People are acting like the anti-christ has cometh and the SDMB is all of a sudden a nazi message board. For those who don’t block the ads - fucking scroll down for half a nano second until they disappear! :rolleyes: ---

The other thread about being tolerant of the ads wasn’t good enough? ---

I envision a message board of nothing but threads for and against the banner ads. It would be the Yin and the Yang. Perfect harmonic bliss. ---

[QUOTE=Phlosphr] For those who don’t block the ads - fucking scroll down for half a nano second until they disappear! :rolleyes: [/QUOTE] Exactly. Because scrolling down magically mutes the annoying ad jingles. ---

I think we already have enough threads about the banner ads, we don’t need another one complaining about how there are too many threads about the banner ads.
