Give thumb up

Hey guys,

We had a great sale of AoC campaign on SI. But wanted to ask you what you think of it? Is it too intrusive in your opinion? Or is it ok, considering it's game related?

Please let me know. Would love to hear what you think.

As always, thanks!

No it's not intrusive at all, and lends some fresh colour to the page. I've found far more intrusive ads on other sites, Gamespot for one (which is causing no end of hate from members).
Only problem is, it's now just a little too tempting to give in and give it a go..again.
And no it's not free, Zerk (but it is cheap).

Ok glad to hear it Herod. We got to pay the bills during the global crisis! Being game related, I believe it's not too intrusive too. I'm also working on those graphics so I'm making sure we get quality stuff.

Zerk, sorry no. This is just an ad campaign. :) Perhaps if they get pleased with results, we can also throw a few prizes in for SI people. Don't atm really.

Thanks!

I think this is great, not intrusive at all. It makes the site a bit more creative!

Blitz, we can't really just pick which ads we place since somebody needs to pay for them. :)

Oh, ok.

Thank Hero and Kres!

All the Ads sure are annoying though.

But we need to keep SI going somehow.

Thanks Guys.

I haven't played it, but it's nice to see something diff, maybe you guys can do this more often each time a great new game comes out?
