No.
Except for those ones that cover up the top of your screen when your mouse moves over them.
Those are as annoying as hell...

I agree with Bandito, Redemption should definitely disable his main source of income...

They dont really bother much, and they help the site.

So why have them disabled? There arent really many people complaining or ranting about it.

Think about it rationally. If the ads didn't benefit the site, why would Red keep them?

Anyways, they help pay for the site.

Well lets see, they pay Redemption and Neo Era to put their ads on the site. And these are the main source of income for Red and his staff at the Neo Era building(yes they have headquarters)in Canada. Its not that difficult to understand.

Anyway at first they were annoying, but now im used to them and just ignore them. So I don't mind them.

I don't have any problems with the ads. I don't seems to get the ones that cover your screen when you mouse over them, or I am really bad at finding them and the little banner ads aren't very obtrusive.

If Redemption disables ads, he disables Neoseeker.

re: Should Redemption Disable ads? [Ad Annoyment]

As the site grows bigger and bigger, it requires more bandwidth as well as more maintenance. The fact is that this site is not some glorified hobby, and it needs to generate revenue, AT LEAST enough to pay for its own operating costs. The ads are necessary and bring in money which, in turn, allows the site to remain free to all of the members. I think that this is an excellent trade off.

It's official. I have truly become a babysitter on Neo. Redemption, I want my $7.00 an hour!

re: Should Redemption Disable ads? [Ad Annoyment]

I've never even noticed them. I think Firefox blocks them, so get it.
But can't you turn them off yourself if you don't like them? I thought that was an option? Honestly, I've seen sites with much worse ads than this. For example, I can hardly see how Myspace, which has hundreds of millions of members but is run by just 300 people needs to be clogged with annoying loud ads.
Neo still loads and runs fast on my old as crap PC and basic broadband connection, and I think it's great.
