The ads are a waste of space!
If kept, have a bit more variety!

I know the ads are necessary to fund the site, but I don't like the side ads, and they could be a bit less in your face.

Am I the only one that notices that the choices 'yes or no' do not coincide with 'stay or go'? There should only be 'stay' or 'go', not both.

I vote 'GO'.

Thank you. I too was a bit taken aback as how to vote for 'Go'. It should have been titled Yes or No instead of Stay or Go.

I was wondering where they came from and for a minute thought the resolution on my screen had been tampered with.

They need them as much as the government needs more taxes.

The government actually does need more taxes to get the country out of their trillion dollar debt.

I was wondering what that enormous blank space to the right of the posts were. Since I'm in a similar situation as hilman, my response is the same.

I'm all for side banner ads if Tonner dolls, Shelly and Kay are on it. These newly sculpted air stewardesses were center piece attractions at the Tonner Convention this year and the artist really captured that '60s look.

Otherwise, I agree that these ad placements need better fitment so as to provide continuity.

If the site needs them to help keep it a free website then I am all for them where ever they put them. If they don't need the ads and they are on the side I could really and truly care less where they are placed. It never crossed my mind about this till someone brought it up. The poll needs a "don't care" option.

Thank you Robert for this great thread!

Let me apologize to you folks for not giving you an introduction as I did over at wings900.com where the changes are expected with a rather pleasant manner by the members.

I was actually looking forward to such an opinion poll.
Yes nobody likes ads. But as Waffle beautifully stated, those are the taxes for this service... that YOU actually DON'T pay. Heck I would mind a great big Advert over my house to avoid paying them taxes!

I see the level of manhood is up there in this forum, as all of you commented on is the stewardess doll and nobody mentioned the Chocolate Santa.

The right bar is not JUST for that banner! It will serve further purposes in the near future such as a direct link to the 5 recent posts on the forum, one reviewed model every week etc.

Look at it on the bright side! You don't have to make any more long head and eye movement to read lines in posts. Ever thought why the press keeps narrow columns for many many years?

Ad advantage: this will get the retailers back in the forum game, handing you folks discounts and taking action in competitions and prize draws... All going for your advantage.

Good go Adam. Yes there will be that small top banner but moving to your bottom (not actually your bottom... :P) of the page so we don't have too much up there!!

Fazeman! Love your dolls! Maybe you can give me a couple images for my next ads.... and become the second least wanted guy in here along with me:P

I am here fore asking for your patience until the first plane images appear on your right and you will feel at home again

Thank you in advance!!

That is a very strong statement, yet nobody cared to vote or reply after my explanation of where this forum is going to be heading to and how much we will all gain with the new features available right under that banner.

Again this right space is reserved for more than just the banner.

The banner is only the beginning.

Thank you for your patience and support everyone
