Forum:I don't mind Google ads but...

...I don't want to see ads like this:



You can't see it in the picture but this ad was flashing off and on, was moving around, etc. Not only is it distracing it looks very bad.

I have had some more ad trouble today as you can see in the picture below.



Personally i think Wikia should ditch box ads all together and go with banner ads. In fact I'd rather have banner ads visible for every one (including logg-in users) then have box ads abstracting content of pages.

Wow, and this is after only one day of having "see all ads" checked out on my preferences.

 * Yes, there was absolutely no need to implement New Monaco. Monobook worked fine. Not good. -- 12:26, 31 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Critism of the new Monaco have been express by hundred of users already (mainly in Forum:Wikia's New Style), there's no need to continue been radical saying thing like « new monaco should be deleted » or « there was no need for it in the first place ». As an user of a free service, even though Wikia wishes to listen to their users (yes they do it, mind you), if we dont like it, there's only one solution; to stop using the free service (and go see elsewhere). Positive and constructive critism is always welcomed. Hindleyite comment is not of that nature. I dont know what Wikia might be planning but they already said that Monaco is here to stay. Now users simply have to learn to live with it (or to switch to Monobook in their preferences).


 * When users have problem with « bad ads », they can report them to staff and there's a chance they will get blocked. (Can't find the right page for this, sorry) — TulipVorlax 08:01, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * i dispise those vibrating ones personally, even more then the "shot the *" ones. as for the EVE one being all over the page, its being worked on. lots and lots of reports of that, but everyone is one more nudge to get it done faster. --Uberfuzzy 09:09, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Tulip: here's some constructive criticism: Monobook is ugly and advertising-heavy. Maybe it would be better if you allowed the admins of individual wikis to decide what's best for their anonymous users instead of imposing New Monaco upon everybody. Also, I do not believe my comment is radical at all - I believe that there is a place for Monaco but that decision should be left to those who edit rather than those who don't (ie the Wikia staff type people). -- 13:53, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
