                    So we can't update avatars? So my avatar is stuck as a Wombat with a poppy. Will it still have a poppy at Christmas? I made a wombat with a party hat avatar specially

                    Oh well, off to the FFZ

                        I can't believe there is even one person that voted banana(to keep the banner). You guys do know that 'Yes' means you want rid of the banner right?

                        I tried following the link to figure out how I could contact these a**holes that made this banner, because I've also seen it elsewhere besides apolyton, but the page didn't have any contact information, just a stupid form. I understand that advertising money is necessary to keep a site like this running, but allowing an ad like this is aggravanting and flagrantly irresponsible, and is a liability for apolyton.

                          I voted Banana.

                          I would've prefered if it was the Bananas in Pajamas though.

                            <I>is a liability for apolyton</I>

                            I take it you are referring to a "legal" liability, BFBA? The answer to this is no; if the banner can be categorized as something that should be changed due to overwhelming and widespread aggrevation with it (and I am not saying whether or not I feel it is or isn't as I have yet to see it myself), it would be the responsibility of the advertiser themselves and perhaps even the advertising agency to do something about it (in Apolyton's case, UGO).
