My Internet connection is not bad, but not the best. After you BBs have put on all the Flash Ads, the pages freeze. The fun is taken away from us poor ones, but given to all richer ones with good Internet connection.
I know I have a slow machine as well, but you have taken the joy away!
- and now as Vito is doing so well!

i agree.

personally o have no problem with the ads because they are intended to keep the site up, i have on the right an ad with dark warriors or smth like that and it's ok, it's a picture, it doesn't bother me.....


but the messenger emoticons are just awful :|, especially the one that keeps laughing or moving, etc. call me old fashion but i would like a web page to be like a photo not a ongoing movie. the speed also isn;t a problem because that's the price but IMO the moving ones are just to tireing.


guess i'll have to buy suporter :-?
any way the game turned arround as far as game engine is concerned and the ads ar worth paying the price :P.

Yes, I will too, but I do not have card. In Hattrick you can pay via Internet Bank. Here they use only PayPal.

That's going to change very quickly...

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Good!
The page where I set order will not update because of the two flash-ads on top and at the side. I have even turned down the quality to LOW on both and turned off LOOP and PLAY and still it is "loading". I think this is taking my patience to new levels!

Do you know which ads specifically? I'll see if I can turn those off (we're using a banner network, so we don't have a *lot* of control over which ads they show)
I do not remember who delivers the ads, but when they are loaded, the problem is greatest when both spots for ads are loaded with flash. Specially the ones telling me I have won something, then not even the scroll-mouse is working. The page looks frozen, so the end looks to be here. But do not worry too much, my dad has bought me Supporter!

Can anyone explain why people even create these ads and if they are effective? I get that BB.com gets money for hosting them, but why would anyone click some of the nonsense ones? How do they make money by placing an ad saying "Fart Button: Press it!"

I don't get it!

I'm a sucker for fart buttons.

But seriously, there really are people that are.
