Flashing Red Banner

[aphex]

I find it rather interesting that i just got this banner, and i am a subscriber.

You can all be winners:
Blocking ad servers with hosts files and by DNS

my subscription has recently lapsed, but I can second the comment about the usefulness of full-text search in FS/T.

That ******* banner is STILL THERE!!!

When will it go away? I thought Anand himself wrote a complaint to those guys :|

Genius answer

Seriously... just subscribe.

It's still there. And FYI, this is on the AnandTech website, not the forums, so a subscription won't solve this one.:| Come on guys, please fry someone over this, and quickly.

Yes, I agree... my subscription lapsed a couple of months ago... and I am BROKE and IN DEBT, I can't afford to subscribe right now.....and that flashing red banner is just so annoying... sure I can block it with hosts files but if anandtech wants me to watch ads if I dont subscribe, I will... so blocking via host files would block all the other advertisements too....

Heh, my mom just got this ad at pogo.com and clicked on it... She was going to enter her email address, but i stopped her...

Uh, anyone got any '1337 h4x0r 5ki11z' ?? I am sick of this ******* banner! :|

You mean everyone else is seeing that banner to? I thought I was special.:Q

Actually the flashing "WINNER" banner is on the non-subscriber forums as we speak. I just saw it and it's worse than the "shock the monkey" banner.

Mods, Can we please have an UPDATE!

I feel a seizure coming on from looking at that banner... now we wouldn't want any lawsuits would we

 

[fatbaby]

its just a banner for christ sakes!

If you don't like it, don't stare at it!

Either suscribe or live with it! These banners generate revenue that keeps AT free

 

[ViRGE]

Fatbaby, they're on the main site. There's no such thing as a subscription to ward them off.
