I get the reason for the banners....

it is a bit difficult to get into the mood of the Bushido with an ad flashing coercing me into applying for a Visa.

But I'm not complaining.

dan did a good job softening the one on the mainpage, but the dojo header is not configured just yet. In any event I agree: it sucks major ass, but what can you do...?

Well at least it's not the monkey!

It's here were I'd usually post a smiley for effect, but I'll refrain http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif... that 1 doesn't count.

P.S.

Is it my imagination or are the pics ever so slightly lighter? Maybe I'm just getting used to them.

No, it's not your imagination T_B_S the pic's were re-compiled as per your request; (I was hoping you'd notice) http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif. That's as lite as dan could get them though, so I hope it's good enough?

J_T; in turth we don't make anything at all.

Here's how it all works: the hosts are getting paid who-know-how-much by the companies to display the banners; in return for our posting them on this site the hosts give .org free disk space, free tech support, and stuff like that, (no "monitary profit" to speak of though).

We know you guys understand that full-version UBB, unlimited disc space, unlimited sub-domains, and all this great stuff is insanely expensive + even if everyone put in $5 we'd probably only last a year or so. As it stands dan has cut us a real sweet deal normally reserved for much higher volume sites, but the banners have to stay if .org is going to be in this for the long haul, as is our mandate.

I personally don't mind the banners at all. Banners are so ominpresent these days on the web, I didn't even really notice them until I read this thread. And I whole-heartedly agree with solypsist: anything is better then those idiotic 'action' banners ( I will admit that I slapped the monkey once to see if anything interesting happened - er, I'll stop right there...)

Actually to tell you the truth, I make lots of money off of these banners. So what Kurando told you was all a lie.

Keep clickin gents!
