And my follow-up question is this: as more people get frustrated by these off-topic banners and block them all, how else can merchants advertise their products? Merchants can't talk about their own products in the forums (or else their posts will be labeled "commercial" and moved to the Product Showcase Forum).
One of the few remaining benefits of having an exclusive product here is that the merchant gets to run a banner ad for the exclusive product. If people are blocking the banners, what good is this benefit?
That's something you guys will have to take up with Renderosity.
I love to look at the Poser banners. Many of the items I've purchased have been because I saw a banner for it and clicked on it. I've even discovered link errors in banners going to the wrong store or item and have notified Renderosity of the problem for them to fix. But... Renderosity seems to becoming just another website with the usual banner spam. So far I've been able to block out the ones I don't want to see, but I will block the entire Iframe if it becomes a nuisance to me.
