THANK YOU FOR HAVING NO ANIMATED ADS

Jody Hudson · January 5, 2001, 04:04 AM

I just want to thank everyone at TFL for NOT having the animated ads which junk up nearly all other discussion groups. The ads are a menace to my machine and many others.

I have virtually quit all other discussion groups as the animations slow my computer horribly, even crashing it sometimes.

I have a pretty good machine; 200 MMX running Win95 with 198 meg of RAM and usually use a cable modem. I know from other groups that there are some of us who have machines that just don't do well with animations and there seems to be no ryme or reason for it.

Ads are fine; the fine companies that help sponser TFL with ads and support of all kinds are certainly welcome. More are welcome. I just want to thank you for NOT having animated ads... and I hope you NEVER do.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

What ads are you talking about?

To the best of my knowledge, there has never been a banner ad of any kind on TFL.

I am sooooooooooooooo sorry. I am down to just this and Glock Talk now and Glock does have some non animated ads. No TFL has not had ads since I got here. As long as they are NOT animated I have no problem with them myself. Sorry for my confusion though. It's not my first time in the land of confusion... I live here at least part-time. ;(

AH! That ad just crashed my machine!

Oh, wait. It's still running.

It's me who's crashed...

May I use that banner for a link to TFL?
BTW: You might want to add "No Ads Here."

Andy-
The banner is yours. Thanks.

As for the "No Ads Here":
It might make Staff (and Member) jobs a bit easier. OTOH, the Federal Criminal Code was only a couple inches just a few decades ago. Look at where it is today in our attempts to "legislate" common sense. We'd prefer to avoid the same path by using the motto "Think Twice; Post Once".
