Adpage annoyance

V videogeekMember
I like AS and use it for some time - great service! For the time I use the service it has always worked and never let me down.

Now to the 'bad' part:

Don't know how to say that and maybe I am the only one ... but I am extremely annoyed by the ad page I am getting almost every day when I log in to AS (earn free snipes ...).

After all the time I am using the service by now I KNOW that I can earn free snipes when I get someone to join and I really don't need to be 'remembered' daily.

I simply whish there was a button in the preferences where one can turn of that annoying ad page.
I believe by paying for the service I am doing my part of support and the ad page is making me almost jump out of my chair every time I see it and have to click again to get where I should be in the first place.

It gets me that angry that lately I start looking around for another sniping service and shure not for friends to sign up.

Thanks for listening to my rant.

Rick,

The page you discribe is not the page I am talking about.

The page that drives me nuts is (at least on my system) showing up the first time I log in every day - after that the page is bypassed when I log in again on the same day.

This page has only 2 parts:
Earn Free Snipes - with 'enter the address of your friends,' blah, blah, blah and 3 fields to enter emails - and
Become an Affiliate - and earn free snipes, blah, bla, blah.

To get to the page where I can view my snipes I have to click another link 'View Your Snipes ...' and then I am where I want to be (and should have been in the first place.)

I simply believe being a paying customer I should not have to deal with that advertisment.

Hi Rick,
The page you are talking about is like the home page. The page that we are gritting teeth about is. After the page you mention, You log in and then up it comes. The adv. to get more people, etc.etc. If one wants to get to your snipe pages, you have to click on the link on the right.
You have a good handle on the home page and there is no complaint there. It is the next one that is an unnecessary step.
See you later gater.

My God, how can you survive such a horror. For a split second you have to look at a page before you click. Damn, how have endured it? Oh, the huumanity! (historical reference, you won't understand it)
Do you live in a palace surrounded by servants?
I hate the phrase "get a life" but do get one. Look around you, if you ever leave your computer. Look at the homeless and hungry on the streets. Check the news. Pss, we are at war, fool.
And you whining morons have time to be concerned with a page that has to be skipped. IT TAKES A MILLESECOND!!You are just pathetic if something like that even registers in your weak minds.
Go find something useful to bitch about and quit whing about something so trivial.
By the way, I doubt if you read news magazines because if you did you would be ashamed to whine about something so minor but if you have ever opened a magazine, did you not note the page after page of ads and mail in cards that fall out. There is something called a newspaper, it is 60% ads. You ignore them and move on. Idiot.
Oh well, guess I should go have my coffee now.
Is there a way to unsubscribe from this endless whine festival?

Steve, you lucky S.O.B. You’re the only one to not have ***** filtered. Confused is the only one to have the f-word unfiltered/unedited. Maybe someday I’ll have my own unfiltered word.

P.S. If you don't believe, do a search.

Hmm - not filtered on mine either. Maybe the filter knows who will get offended and who wont? Razz

Excellent observation. Clever little filter.

Not filter here either. Odd – the private filter appears more uptight then the public one.

So, now we'll be able to talk about female dogs, but not in the private messages.
