Now I gave it a bit of extra tolerance because of its hyper-relevant topic (and in a way I was happy to be informed of [http://bobcatinabox.com/ the Bobcatinabox project]), but I think this banner is getting too animated and distracts too much when reading the website's content. The first form this ad took was [http://www.projectwonderful.com/img/uploads/pics/99067-1399069286.jpg that static image], which I prefer a lot and by the way got my interest enough to click on. |
I find the message displayed when using an ad blocker (''"It seems you are using noscript,..."'') sincerely convincing, especially the part saying ''"our ads are restricted to unobtrusive images and slow animated GIFs."'' It made me immediately disable mine when that message appeared some time ago, and since then I've been okay with static or quietly animated banners; but basically my point is that '''animated ads like this one could drive users, frustrated from the distracting effect, to activate their ad blocker'''. | I find the message displayed when using an ad blocker (''"It seems you are using noscript,..."'') sincerely convincing, especially the part saying ''"our ads are restricted to unobtrusive images and slow animated GIFs."''
