will be saying it should have been them..F-CKING ANNOYING AS HELL I MUST SAY...!!!!
If you work with computers and have any knowledge in the industry, you would know that this type of ad and the way it is configured inhibits the use of the website it is being hosted on. A simple ad on the left or right hand side, or even a banner would do its job nicely. Not something that replaces content of the page using a flash animation forcing the user to click a small area on the upper right to make it disappear otherwise if they miss they get sent somewhere they do not want to go.Uhmmmmmm its to do with winning a brand new 4runner?
No one looks at these things?
If your computer crashes maybe do a windows update or better yet upgrade your system....
I work with computers and i gotta say some people are running way freaking old school dinosaurs in this day and age...
If you look at emails thats fine run a old school machine but if you scour online follow up with forums and such you should be at least running something new.
And f-cking annoying as hell but when someone wins a brand new 4runner because they went through the whole ad and applied well everyone who said it was will be saying it should have been them..
LOL
^ bingoI went to the main page a few weeks ago just to see wtf you guys were whining about. that add drives me nuts. on the plus side I have the forum bookmarked so I never see the main page.

Ads like these are offensive to the user and can easily make a webmaster look like a sellout to ads companies because he/she has no regard for the convenience of their users but rather caters to the people giving them cash to run ads on their site. Not saying its true by any stretch but it can and has given that impression on other sites.
I remember Lars asking in the forums awhile go mentioning if anyone on here actually knew that bc4x4 was an actual website rather than a forum and many of the responses (joking or not) mentioned that they never go to the main page. An ad like this will make most people skip the mainpage and go directing to the forums which is likely something that Lars doesn't want.
Just my $0.02.
