Far too many advertisments!

Far too many advertisments! I think iNet are going overboard with all these ads. Theres a banner on the top of the page, a banner on the bottom of the page, and on the index another two skyscrapers about other iNet sites. Its really too much, just stick with two banners, not four.

What two large ads on the index? I see one large one, and a small one for WHT.

my mistake, one right hand skyscaper, and one little square. Its still too much, and too cluttered. The community is going to suffer because of it.

At least have it like WHT with only two right hand sqaures. That big HotScripts skyscraper just takes it too far, and is making me think about turning my back on posting here.

People come to forums to enjoy themselves, not be bombarded with millions of ads. Sorry iNet, but your making the wrong choice.

I don't even notice them, they hardly take up any space as it is. Unless, of course you have your monitor set to a low resolution.

*cough* i dont notice the hotscripts on and i run 800x600

im running dual 21" monitors on 1280x730 or something like that, and although it can be ignored, i think its going overboard, and in bad taste. If I plastered that many ads on my websites i wouldnt hear the end of it.

I don't see any of them normally *puts on innocent face and whistles but looking, i don't think they are overboard, perhaps the skyscraper is a little dominating if anything. (1024 x 768)

maybe im just old fashioned and think two AdSense banners on header and footer are enough (thats what i have on my sites)

The big thing is, iNet is both trying to promote their advertisers and their other sites.

Yeah, well maybe the should just remove the skyscaper and button, and put their own sites in rotation on the top and bottom of the site, cut their losses and at least be happy that the site isnt so cluttered.
