If people don't want adds, they just need to cough up a couple thousand dollars.

Oh, they don't want to do that either? lol

I don't mind the adds. Actually if I see a good add somewhere that I might be interested in I click it.

I will never ever click on the adds on this website however. Being redirected from a forum that you specifically came to, to read sucks ass.
Somehow make clicking the adds open up in another window or tab and you will increase your revenue.

That's a browser specific function - you can set that in your browser, it's not something I can set on this site.

Thanks

I always middle click links when I'm not sure of how they're targeted.

Yeah problem with these adds is my middle click doesn't seem to work on them.

Works on the rest of the links on the page just not the adds. Right clicking and looking for the open in new window/tab option is also not present.

Check the add they have up the top. It automatically opens up on a new tab not interrupting your enjoyment of the actual site.

Most user friendly adds work that way. Not sure why yours do not.

Opens in new tab for me, and the Open in New Window/Tab option is available on right click.

CTRL + Click should do the job as well. At least it does in Firefox.

crtl-alt-del.com has ads that normally refers to gaming and the such, I am sure you can PM the owner of the site and ask which provider he uses. I would see if you can remove the ads for WoW since this is basically an EQ2 site.

I have apps in to 5 different advertising companies, hopefully we will get accepted by one.

My one gripe with adds is that usually it slows down page loading or sometimes the page won't load at all because the adds can't be loaded. If you can set the adds up so that there is no disruption to the normal use of the forums then I don't mind.
