Post by: Stuart2007 on August 20, 2009, 18:58:54: You mean that tiny, unobtrusive box at the bottom of the screen?

[sarcasm-on]OH NO. That's it. I want Pyotrs head on a plate. And I'm going to go buy VS in protest. Absolutely destroyed my fun on this forum.[sarcasm-off]

Look chaps, they let us talk inane drivel on *their* server with this forum. Is it too much to ask for them to be permitted to recoup a little of their server money this way... I mean, it's not like anyone will click them anyway (no one ever does, so why online marketing is so expensive, I don't know)

I clicked on the "Adds by Google" or whatever was the sign & now it's blocked & not displayed.

If placing adverts here makes Vstep get more money - I'm happy. :angel:

They won't get more money if you block them. haha

Perfectly Pointless Programme

I am sure it wouldn't be much.

Make the Dover-Calais ads so that AdBlocker doesn't work.

Post by: Stuart2007 on August 20, 2009, 23:26:05: Joking aside- I hope VS don't advertise here... I once paid for advertising my company and some of the ads appeared on my competitors website- which obviously was targetted against a directly competing service :angel:

Not really, Since everyone has been recommending Ad Blocker, so the adverts aren't seen, so they don't get clicked, thus don't make any money...

Phoenix Flight Simulator

Golf Simulator Hire

Pilots of the Future

Why not? Most harbours have adverts on billboards- it wouldn't be too hard to add these in. Dover has dozens of them, so why not model them...
