It looks like alot of the images on this site are sub-directories of the root, "renderosity.com/mod/..."
Such as the thread icons, the ad banners, and even the images uploaded into threads by members.
This makes it difficult for anyone wishing to use the Firefox AdblockPlus plugin to filter out the annoying crap from the stuff we want to see...

Anyhow, that's just me. I don't come here to get solicited to, I come here to hang, to discuss Poser and other 3D things, to look at artwork, and to occasionally buy stuff.

That's not to say I don't understand the rationale - y'all want to sell stuff, and at a place where graphics are the thing, you want to be...errrm... graphical-like.

How about doing something like CG Society has: an optional annual paid subscription with an option for the user to completely remove all ads and banners? Just a thought. No offense to anyone in particular, but many of the banners and ads are not only annoying, but also really tacky, amateurish, and insulting.

EDIT: No, I'm not just being an ass for the sake of being an ass, this is a genuine suggestion. I would gladly pay for a subscription to this site if it meant I could more easily filter out the crap, and have options to turn off all ad banners. I don't know how many else would, but I'm sure I'm not alone in how I feel about it.
