They are Quite Annoying, but if they help the site then fair enough. I'm certainly not annoyed enough to complain about them if they're serving a purpose. Just a necessary evil, is all.

Hi Iain, hi folks,
I voted 'very annoying', but like I said in the other thread:
they shouldn't been given up if it means a substancial (read: financial)
sacrifice. If it's only a marginal advantage I'd (personally) get rid of them though!
If it was my site, I'd rather cut on bandwidth*/hosting costs than spoil some of the fun while browsing through the site, but that's, of course, only my opinion.
Above all, respect and a big Thank You to Iain for his excellent site and board, whatever he decides to do.
Ta!
Rob

Once again I emerge from beneath a massive pile of paper which makes my desk groan to bring you the world’s most amazing posts.

Well there was a time a couple of years ago, with the colapse of the Internet advertising market when I was only getting about $2 or $3 a month from the ads and I was close to getting rid of them but now I get approx $8-$10 a month from them and that pays for approx 60% of the hosting of zzap64.co.uk but there's also the slightly cheaper cost of hosting my other site (www.theyfuckyouatthedrivethru.com) where I have a lot of scans as well.
I get a cut out of the DVD sales so that adds a bit to the bottom line as well and I get about £1-£2 a month through Amazon so it all adds up and probably pays a good bit of the hosting costs but not all And being a poor student I need all the extra income I can get to help pay for it
