Flash ads: a serious discussion - I think they may get out of control (already are?)

I know its good for NS' ads to be successful. But I was skeptical when I heard the integration of a bunch of flash ads. I am seeing THE FIRST ONE. For the movie premiere IF3 fest in Motnreal. This shit is fucking stupid. I feel like I'm about to have a fucking seizure. Now I am seeing about some guy with his mashed potatoes & carrots BLINKING AT ME. I may not be the admins new favorite for starting this thread but I think we need to have a serious discussion about this.

I used to post on a forum where they had ads for some movie and suddenly these worms would crawl out of the ad and go all over the screen for like 10 minutes. that's when I said fuck it and started blocking ads. compared to that this mashed potato guy is nothing. put as many as you want up ns, I won't see 'em. also, those scroll over then movie plays ads sucks. I inadvertantly end up scrolling over them multiple times and then it taking forever to load some stupid clip i could care less about.

Trust me guys, Doug tells no lie. When NS has money, it means we can do the things WE'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO! Remember how much of a failure NSTV turned out to be? Thats because NS didn't have shit for a budget, when you don't have the money to make a complex broadcast system work right, its quite obviously not going to work on hopes and dreams. There is going to be some KILLER ADDITIONS to the site! These small differences in the size of ads and whatnot is a VERY small price to pay once you guys see how it will benefit the site over the coming months.

When NS has money, they are coming to the midwest for an event (Wisconsin) because NS events are always east/west coast! Mr. Bishop I expect a response to this!

JD check the mod discussion.
And I was more talking about the IF3 seizure ad, which has now been changed. I wasn't knocked off the bandwagon buddy, I was simply stating a complaint, which was fair. As a result of it the ad was changed. Whats your problem?

Yea, are we not allowed to discuss a huge change in the aesthetics of this site? I thought what he said was kind of uncalled for, to be honest.

i'm pretty stoked....the page seems to be faulty and the adds load at the very bottom of the left side. i have no ads on the right....it looks really nice like that. if you read this and try to fix it i will kill you.
