Those Rollover Ads on the Frontpage

[EKublai]

I'm talking about the ads for RIFT and such. I realize this a new implementation and so is still in an experimental stage, but my two cents is that it is really inconvenient and useles to put them top and center. Mainly because the only time I activate them is when I going to go to another tab I have in the browser (I assume many people use the tab system nowadays). So the only time the ad activates is when I'm actually going to leave the Newgrounds homepage. This is a negative for two reasons. First, when I actually do click another tab, my internet slows and suddenly I have an ad playing in another tab for no reason. Next, it means that the ad is never actually seen because it is out of the way and only activated when someone is leaving the site. So... the company advertising is wasting money.

Any other thoughts?

The ad is seen by tons of people, some of which must be interested enough to click on it. It may be inconvienient for the rest of us, but it is a great way for Tom to pay for the website.
