Anyone else annoyed by those "inter-dry" banners???

Just jumping in,
but kind of shocked someone is actually surprised to see ads on the internet.

yeah, big shocker. :laugh:


One thing to keep in mind,
is when a website uses advertisements
to pay for the cost of the website,
YOU
get to belong to that website for free.

Websites can cost $100s of dollars or more to maintain. I was surprised when i found that out. I'd rather be a member for free,
and see ads for ppl who might need such products and have no idea such products even exist!!!!!!

than have to pay to belong to MFP.


I don't read the ads, have never even really noticed them,
but, i guess i am free to read
or NOT read any ads i see.

I realize this is a weight loss web site, but do we really need to be reminded like this? I look at the ad banner and see an advert for a sheet of some absorbent material you're supposed to put in your fat fold to relieve "irritation"...Come on, people don't need to be reminded of that particular problem!

also,
i don't think the point of the ad
is to "remind people of that particular problem"
????

but possibly,
to let anyone who does need such a product,
know that there are things to help with that...who knew?
