On the other hand, blocking banners hurts the merchants here. You see, banner ads are the only way that we merchants can advertise our product: we aren't allowed to mention the Marketplace in the forums, any mention of our own product is frowned upon, and product announcements are restricted to the Product Showcase Forum. So, while I agree that annoying banners (meaning ones that drop cookies and come from off-site companies) should be blocked, take the time to view banners from your fellow merchants. You never know- you may actually see a product that you're interested in! --John
