i just moved it to the top of my page.. so all's good
but, some warning woulda been nice.

just a suggestion, but it wouldn't hurt to see if one can get some vertical advers wouldn't hurt.. they're easy to incorporate into some designs.

Whoops. Sorry about posting the codes then.

I just thought we were beeing fucked by burstnet, with their voice ads, popups and the oversized adds.

...

Well... at least it's official now.

Sorry once more, but I don't like it when someone changes the rules two years in the game, without notifying me.

Aiya, the voice adds are insane. I tend to browse my comics from work on a Sunblade that doesn't...have....volume...control...

Nothing like the soft and sultry voice of Tina echoing out across my callcenter....

If Keenspace isn't getting at least 50 cents each time the Tina ad shows up, it's totally not worth it.

With the exception of the flash ads that show up in the middle of your screen and don't go away, that's probably the most annoying ad I've ever seen. I'd almost rather have BetterInternet or Gain Publishing trying to force downloads down my throat.

Making the ads more hideous in order to recap money lost by people circumventing the ads is a downward sprial. Now they have even more reason to install the ad-blocking software. So then we get even more horrible ads.

Also, about 50% of the ads seem to be surveys. Seeing as how no one can take them more than once, why do they show up so often?

Um... hi.

God forbid I start bitching and take for granted this great site... but I will say I passionately hate the new, bigger ads. They're ugly, way too big, and just generally a pain in the ass.

However, I did fix my site so they aren't as pain-in-the-assy... and I'm sure I'll get used to them in time. I can hate 'em all I want--doesn't change the fact that I'm getting a free place to host my Web comic that also up-dates it for me.

- PChuu!

Yah, got my attention. I stopped reading the comic that tina first popped up on for about 2 weeks, until I figured out what the hell happened. Way to pull in advertising dollars.
