banner ads on the top, and now on the side?
Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

Adblock FTW.
But I agree, it does mess up the size.

we're just playing around with some ideas.... it's our goal for this not to mess up the content- we're setting the content so it's minimum 900 pixels...

Adblock just takes the ads away, not the bar. Seems that large TR pix are not affected, however - on those pages the bar just doesn't appear. Still don't like everything squished to the left, however.
Hope this pays the bills.

Bills are insanely high.
We'll be slickening out the interface over the next month so that the skyscrapers are less invasive, along with a bunch of new features like blogs and tighter photo galleris.. hold tight...

as a side note- if you change the theme from the default in your options, you won't see any banners.

and this is subject to change.

How does it affect your vertical ad-revenue projections when 50% of the posters are the same person?

my first thought when i saw it:
"wow, that's intrusive"
my 2 cents worth.. which is a lot less than what you're getting for that ad, so i guess i shouldn't say anything.

I agree with pechelman, splice in or put on the bottom, it annoys on the side. It's totally asymmetric. al.

Ackkk DO NOT SPLICE OR INTERSPERSE!!
The sidebar is far less intrusive than reading ads in the middle of a thread.
I totally understand the need to make some money and underwrite the expenses of the site. Good on ya for trying new things.Kill all the telemarkers
But they’ll put us in jail if we kill all the telemarkers
Telemarketers! Kill the telemarketers!
Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason

If you know your history, then you would know where you coming from, then you wouldn't have to ask me, who the heck do I think I am.
