Someone had to say it...might as well be me. Does this ad make you nutZ or am I flawed in some way? Is it Daniel's nose or the fact that the advertisement peels away every page I visit? So I thought I would trick the ad. I kept my cursor down and to the left every time I moved on to a new page. Nope. Ad still peels and I get more NutZ the more I read 2+2.
Im jus sayin. Please dont ban me.

That's why it annoys me so much. It's like a pop-up ad that can't be blocked.

Frank Zappa. Dude was sooo ****ing cool. Did you see that youtube video of him on crossfire? (some political show or something). It's a pretty long video but well worth watching.

I still get to use 2+2 for free, and I understand these things are ubiquitous everywhere now, but it's still making me deliberately NOT play Stars.

Not that I was likely going to anyway, but now I'm definitely not. Thanks for the support, PokerStars, but you don't have to be an annoying twerp about it.

Why does this thread exist? There is no real discussion between the Reds and the posters itt (2 posts by Mat, 1 by RB, 1 by TT).

This thread just seems like a lame attempt to pretend like you care about how posters feel about these ads. It is clear that it really doesn't matter what we think since the ads are back, so why pretend like there is a need for a thread about it? All it is is one sided complaining for the most part.

Just make an announcement that it doesn't matter what we think, the ads are here to say, and that we can go **** ourselves if we don't like it.

I don't know where to post this, so I'll post this here.
This new ad in the upper right corner of 2+2 site is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLY ANNOYING.

BEYOND BELIEF.

Please, send it to he cornfield.

Please.

I looked in the forum and did not see that thread.

Okay, as long as it's not some new trend and just a temp thing...

Nevertheless...

(mods delete thread if you like, oops on my part for not seeing the other one.)

What's with this thing that keeps peeling back across the top of the page. You can't read the threads and it affects your ability to use this forum. Not to user friendly IMO. I know it's a commercial but it's also a big pain in the ass. You have to figure out ways to get around it. Not too cool.

Mat,

I appreciate your candor in letting us know about the ad. Unfortunately, though, it doesn't seem to be in the spirit of what 2+2 is all about. I hope you guys are getting a pretty penny for putting that blasted thing up for a couple days.

ps. to anybody saying the add doesnt work.. your wrong... its called marketing.. just everyones responce in this thread alone prove its working... and will stick in the back of your head.. just because an advertisement is annoying or pathetic doesnt mean it doesnt work... in fact it probably work that much better because of its annoyingness...

and 2nd on it not slowing down my computer 1 bit.
