What is with this? What is the ad for anyway? It annoys me to look at it. Does anyone else see this?

There's been a lot of errors with the ads recently, one of the reasons I started to use AdBlock. I have no idea what specific website or product is being advertised, though I presume that it's an MMO site, since Newgrounds does have a tendency to advertise them.

It's better than the actual ads, those are fucking annoying.

If everyone used AdBlock, advertising would become unprofitable and disappear.

You could argue I'm "stealing" now that I go to Newgrounds without even seeing the ads, but in the era before adblock plus I never clicked an ad anyhow, EVER.

Then Newgrounds wouldn't get it's $3000 a day and will have to close down. Would you like that? No.

I'm too damn lazy to make a decent sig right now.

It's a problem with the programming of what ads go where. That ad was meant for a side bar, but its being used for the header ad.


also, dicks.

Doubleclick Ads (provides NG with ads) may have fired people or may just have problems with the new more "kid friendly" ads (the new CB11 ads are a far cry from NG's former adult ads.)

Ads come out distorted sometimes, because an horizontal ad is placed in a vertical place and vice-versa.

Yes.

and will have to close down. Would you like that? No.

Don't be a fucking retard, as if advertising is the only way of earning money on the internet.

Newgrounds could become even bigger if it started thinking bigger than just ad revenue.

At first glance it looked like Dr. Robotnick squished up. Obviously it's a woman but you coulda fooled me at first.

I mysef can't see ads. I don't have ADBlock (I run Internet Explorer) but for some reason I still can't see them. All I get is a blank section where the ad is siupposed to be. Computer's running fine and alot faster without them, so I ain't complaining.

Wow... that's weird. Does it happen with all of the websites you go on? Or just Newgrounds?

Oddly enough, just Newgrounds. Maybe a few others but since NG is the main site I go to, I don't notice it on any of the others.
