Quote - if they see a drop in their merchants' sales, and can attribute it to the off-topic banners, then maybe they could have a second banner on the bottom of the page for pub clearing house and others of that ilk. it's not like pub clearing house (or any of the others) is gonna know the banner's on the bottom.

If I remember the rules from my days with LinkExchange (I quit when MS bought them), the banner owner CAN tell where the banner is positioned. Putting it at the "bottom" (whatever that is on a web page) is against the rules. And R'osity doesn't care about the merchants' sales, they care about how much revenue they generate. If crappy banners bring in more than merchants, the merchants are SOL. I don't buy R'osity Exclusives, by the way, and I only spend money on R'osity stuff if it's listed at CP. I know that still generates some revenue for R'osity, but my conscience is mollified.
