More pop-ups, zero banners. Would you do it?

    I also would not mind giving the new style a try. I have a bad connection and if the pages could load faster it would be easier for me. Why not?
    I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

      Uhm Markos, the only valid point about banners you say is loading times, but it's only an issue with modem (get a better connection there), and I'm a cable user.

      Page space? Bah, on 800x600 anyway .

      I would try it, 2 popups per day don't matter much. And BTW, yes, I think 15 hours is enough here per day, no?

          I really don't care about banners, as long as they're on the top and on the bottom.

          And about downloading speed............
          uh..... get a good connection. (or put pictures off)

          I would never use a version with more pop-ups.

            Hmmmm...
            banners that slow loading times and more on a page, or 2 pop up ads in a 15 hour time frame...

            As much as I also think pop up ads are the spawn of the devil and shouldn't be allowed on the internet... In this case, I don't think 2 pop up ads in 15 hours is bad at all. So for once, I vote for the pop up ads.

              Tell me, how much do you make off the Amazon sales? (I will probably buy either NWN or AOW2 soon, might as well give something to Apolyton in the process, no?)

                  Unless he voted for the "try" it option.

                    Exactly... There is no way I could vote yes to pop up ads... shudder... But I'm willing to give it a try. If they are as infrequent as MarkG suggests... I think it would be better than those stupid banners (with the exception of the Bush Banner )

                        Mark told me he makes more off Chips&Bits than Amazon, if that is an option for you.

                          I'd give it a try.

                          People who don't want this new style can just ignore it.

                            I would give it a try. If you can choose between a style with banners and no pop-up and a style with no banners, but pop-ups, everybody could choose whatever he/she prefered.

                              Can we have a style with bananas instead of banners?

                                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
