I wouldn't mind having a little "x" in the top corner of the ad that closes it though, like youtube on there videos, it'd be nice. I don't mind the banner ad cause they are visible yet subtle but the front page ads are to in your face, which honestly doesn't make me want to buy/use the product, it's just stifling. if there is another way to implement ads to cover costs and salaries, could the staff look into it? Just asking
god help us all, I compared Newgrounds to Youtube... that makes my heart sink
