Experimenting with new ads today

Am waiting for Niber to get on to install and test our new ad provider.

I'm hoping to get all legit gaming related graphic ad banners - who knows, maybe y'all will WANT to see them.

Stay posted.

This falls under the can you find your ass with both hands category. If people can't help themselves to this basic internet functionality, I'm sure they have great insights into EQ2....

Think back to when you were stuck on the official forums and you watched the vocal minority whine very loudly about something they could have very easily dealt with themselves. Now think about how it made you feel when SOE made a change to cater to it. Was that not at least a small part of your incentive to make this site?

I know you want more users, but quality is better than quantity.

Edit to add: I appreciate you trying to hold a high standard here and not scaring away the good ones, but I think you've done plenty.
