What distresses me is that I come in here to read this post about people bitching about the banners that show up and I see banners at the bottom of messages that are marketing products and websites.

It hurts my eyes to have to look at them. Take them off please.

I'm showing some sarcasm here of course but there is an argument to be made.

Shouldn't the banners at the bottom of forum posts only be there if they "ARE NOT" advertising something?

I could care less really. I don't read ANY banners. I just thought it was funny that some of the people that are so concerned have these (what could be considered inappropriate) banners. It's actually pretty poetic. LOL :)
