what's with the ads in the MIDDLE of the threads? Members must find it exceptionally annoying. Wouldn't it be better to have word links at the top of the page? Some of the other forums do this, and not the ad in the middle of threads technique. <_<

EDIT: Dang it, see, there's one right under my post.

well to answer your question?

yes........there does have to be ads to bring in money to run P2L. Running this would nt be cheap.

I say its better because it helps the Admin and staff etc to run P2L more smoothly.

Just would like to say thankyou to all the admin & staff for running the AWESOME site~!

The bandwidth and server costs, plus everything else cost lots of money for faken to run this site, those ads are what brings in revenue to keep the site going, plus, there is only one ad per thread and it's right near the end so it's not like it will bug you that much.. at least there are no popups.

They appear in the 2nd last post on each page if you have a problem use the contact page for your complaints direct to Faken.

You should take a look at your own website before criticizing others. <_<
