Russian computer for USA?

Is it just me, or are the banner ads at the top more "IN YOUR FACE, RUSSIA!"?

Couldn't have said it better myself. Hate it.

I feel the same, and we get a special VJ discount! Oh boy!

And is it just me or is the banner ad gone? I'm just seeing the normal Google ad now.

I still see, GIFTS-TO-RUSSIA! and am sick of it!

Yeah never mind, it's back.

Honestly I'm a little annoyed at the Gifts-to-Russia owner or whoever the heck he is, but I'm fine with small banner ads like this. I know Ewok's gotta at least cover costs. Hell I'll even click on it from time-to-time. What I'm not fine with is being spammed in the forums. And that seems to have been addressed, so I'm cool now.

Another board I'm on has $24/year paid membership to nix the ads and get bigger avatars, etc... Anybody who doesn't pay gets to see all the ads. Seems like a reasonable tradeoff to me. Maybe VJ can institute something like this for those who don't want ads?

Or, if you're you dont like either option, you can get the AdBlock Plus extension for Firefox/Camino.

Now it's a text ad...

Oh well. I don't really look at the ads anyway. I probably would have never noticed if you guys hadn't pointed it out.

I see it everywhere but Charles only sees it here. I wonder if it only targets the Russia Forum OR if you have your SO from Russia. I don't know why, but I'm really annoyed by this ad. It's gaudy and distracting.

GrrrrrUFFF!!!!

I think it's because your country isn't set to Russia. I see it in every single forum.

If I were paying a subscription I'd be upset. But because this site has literally saved me hundreds if not well over a thousand dollars, I'm not to upset about it. I liked the banner-free days, but if it keeps the site running them I guess it's ok with me.

I had no idea what you guys were talking about. I had to bring up IE and login to VJ to see them. I never even new VJ HAD any ads! I have been running Firefox with the Adblock plugin for so long, I'm just accustomed to never seeing advertisement...

I'm surprised you didn't see the ad. I have adblock too, but it needs to be manually added. I'm going to leave this one up and click on it occasionally because VJ has been so valuable to me. If the ads ever get bigger or more in your face though...
