Disturbing images / banner advertisements

[Ruby]

Thought I'd start a new thread for this one, so it doesn't get lost in the "modest proposal" debate.

Okay, so am I the only person grossed out by the really skanky naked people that show up when you first enter the site? Can they maybe be moved to the bottom?

LOL, yeah! no kidding... and that one stupid banner makes the site definitely NSFW! You can't have anyone walking into your office and seeing that crap on the screen. Before that I was able to get away with a visit during the day--but not so easy now.

Agreed, my sweet Nathaniel pointed this out to me, too.
The images turned him off enough to not want to visit the story page.

Gotta say, these are not the visuals I want before delving into fantasy. And they do make it very hard to check into the site while others are in the computer room.

Tiger, not sure when you'll have time to see this, but I'm sure a few more members will have something to say about this.

The current suggestion is to please move the banner images of the "skanky people" to the bottom of the page.

Other suggestions?
Comments?

just dropping in to mention my agreement with all of the above comments, I used to sneak into this site for stories at home, or at school, but now with the risk of people walking in and seeing those images and asking what i'm doing, I don't go on the site as much.

perhaps get a different type of advertiser, or less explicit images for the head-banner, and/or move the banners to a less prominent area of the page?

I totally agree on 'skanky people' lol.

I do not have anyone looking over my shoulder but still, whenever I log on - I go yeeech...
And - I do not want go yeeechh when I come to Library!

AND - since I am trigger happy - I checked. It maybe false advertising. Skanky people are in no way connected with names - supposedly from my country, which they are not!

I do not care if it is false or not but it is certainly most annoying.... Please change banner - or if it is necessary (I understand that) - please move it down.... ..

I had said the same thing someplace else in the forum. I am coming here for stories not pictures.

Well I am not a fan of the Pictures either---but I do understand what Tiger has to do to keep the site up and running ---hey folks it is not a free ride---weather you realize it or not it takes money to keep this site running----and since we are not paying for it ---it has to be done with ads----kind of like the old TV before cable ----if you wanted to watch a program you had to put up with the commercials no matter how stupid or distasful they were. Now we end up paying the big cable bill to see shows with out ads and guess what ----there are adds there too---lol

Now we can whine and sob over the ads all we want --but the alternitive is are you willing to pay the cost to keep the site running? I seen the cost was to be defrayed by the private members area---a pay place---guess what if more of you that hate the ads had joined and paid maybe there would be less ads----so join right up now if you wish to help out---

Thanks Ruby...good idea!

I tend to agree but---when the few more members who want to say something about this ----I hope they are willing to turn this into a pay site to get the banners removed---This is a free site and if it turns people off to see the ads---oh well---they are not going to lose money when they do not return----it is kind of like the old free TV---you had to watch all the ads if you wanted to watch TV---now we pay for cable---and there are still ads-

now to address the particular ads----I can say from experience---there are not many sponsors out there willing to put ads on Sex sites---with the ever changing US Laws --it is just to risky for a lot of them---so you take what you can get and the one that pay the most---

All I am saying here is Tiger is doing the best he can---To keep the site up and running and free---we do not have to like the ads---I pay them no attention unless I see one that intrests me---I suggest we just have to live with it---

just my opinion---

I personally don't like the either... but then as Rabbit said, it is a free site and we are not being charged for any of this, so I'm just grateful that it isn't a paying site really... because the fact is, ads are needed to make it free.

However, the idea of moving them a little (unless the people payed for the ads to be there of course) might work.
If nothing can be done about it then i won't stop visiting the site... i'll just scroll down very quickly but if something can be done i'll be even happier

good suggestion ---except ads seem to work best where they are most noticeable ---- so hiding the ads seem to defeat the purpose

Oh, yes -laughs- my blonde side must have kicked in for a while hehe. It would defeat the purpose... well... there must be some way to keep everyone happy -ponders-

LOL now that is a joke ---have you not heard that you can't please everyone--so please yourself---

Adds hmmm. Oh those adds, I had forgotten all about them since I blocked them they day they appeared.

So here is the skinny from the IT separtment. Stop using the nasty Internet Explorer as your browser. Its a BIG securiety hole among other things and it doesnt let you add features.

Run ovet to mozilla.org and get a copy of Firefox, its free, then you can add among other things Adblock. Then when you see things like this you can block them for good. Its a really handy tool and if you are on dial up can really spead up the pages as you dont have to download a bunch of crap just to get the goodies.

So take control of your computer and get control of whats desplayed on your screen.

i think that if the ads have to stay on the site they should be changed to text ads like the ones at the bottom of the main page...not for nothing half of those banner ads make me want to barf...oh and no matter what i am still gonna come to the site and post sories and stuff
