    Congrats! You've Been Selected! Free Dinner at Chili's!

    Ok, this is not rant or a complaint. Just an oddity.

    Is it just me, or is this the only advertisement displayed at the top of every page? Before it used to vary the advertisements on every page with various different companies and different products, but now, it's just that one Chili's ad. No matter what forum page I visit, and no matter how many times I refresh the page, that's the only advertisement that ever shows up.

    Please tell me I'm not the only one seeing this.

    AdBlock FTW.

    I dont notice any ads, and it is better that way.

    Just to let you know just in case you didn't read the forum rules blocking the adds is a violation of them.

    Yes I have noticed that the chili's add comes up much more than other adds. It doesn't bother me though if this add is paying for the site then cool. I'm personally glad to not have those annoying get your free PSP by signing us over your soul and 100 friends email addresses to send to spam lists. Or other flash adds that bog down even the high end pcs.

    That is one rule that would be impossible to enforce.

    Not really, adamal, considering people often come in admitting they can't see ads

    Diab, I get a variety, but I always notice the "Smash the pinata three times and win an xbox!" ad.

    Sharana Snow (D) | Vivania Snow (W) | Eliska Snow (E) | Shaleyia Snow (A) | Snow Kissed (PvP)
    TRUEly fab!

    I get the pinata one most of the time. I'm getting really sick of it actually!
    If you can't have fun, what's the point?

    No, ban FTW. Read the rules. I wonder if you even bothered to read my post. I already said I did not have a problem with these ads. I actually click on the ads, to support the site.

    I'm just finding it strange how I kept on getting the same exact ad, instead of a variety of them. It seems to be somewhat fixed now.


    And on a completely different note, there exists no better browser than IE6 SP2.

    Does the site get more if we click the ad vs just having it load on the page? I think I have followed a couple to see what they were about.
