    Poll Ads By Google!

    Is it just me, or does anyone else think they make the forum not look as "clean" as it did before??

    They're beginning to annoy me now....

    I voted who gives a fuck. Of course it won't look the same but they're not too intrusive, I've seen worse where there's a big auto reply full of adverts.

    If it helps cover the running costs of DF forums then I don't mind.

    I'd rather we lost the Chris Moyles and had some burd or something, but its a minor gripe, like has been said if it helps pays the bills ......

    I can see Moyles (spit!) but nothing is clickable
    If at first you don't succeed.....redefine success. . . .

    i don't really like them, but understand they have to be there. There's been some great additions to the forum recently so i can't complain

    I see it as a neccessary event to keep DF going.

    Its gotta cost a shitload for servers/bandwidth etc & if this helps lighten the load I`m all for it.

    I never used to like google ads, but they generate income so they are a necessary evil

    I'll be depending upon them later in the year myself

    Not as annoyed as you'd be if you had to pay for the forum upkeep - or worse still, find another forum coz DF has gone down for good.

    Within a week they'll be like wallpaper, you just won't notice them. Plus, 30 seconds out of your day to click on a banner will soon become second nature, and you'll notice that even less than the Chris Moyles pic.

    very true! I would be a lot more annoyed if DF went down!

    I just liked the nice, clean look of the forum, and I just think it ruins it, but ah well....such is life!

    I don't like them, but because of positioning rather than anything else and I understand why they are needed.

    they could always go at the bottom of the forum, but people would need to click on them.
