Do you click on advertisements?
 
My question is simple: do you click on the forum's advertisements?
I usually don't click but if they advertise a game that sounds interesting, i click it.

Chibi-chan November 22nd, 2008 12:27 PM

Not unless it's some kind of really neat looking interactive game...
Like, shoot the ducks o3o Those Orbit advertisements were fun...
Otherwise, no.


This is better off in OVP.

No. I'm not really interested in any of the advertisements anyways. I don't want to take an effing Pokemon Quiz. D:<

Blazers November 22nd, 2008 12:41 PM

Na, those things will always try to give you viruses and what not.

yes, viruses, adware and things like that
sometimes my antivirus blocks some sites

Aurafire November 22nd, 2008 12:43 PM

Nope...I never click on advertisements. They always end up being really stupid games or silly offers or something like that =/

Mitchman November 22nd, 2008 12:52 PM

Viruses so no i do not click such things.

Renneh November 22nd, 2008 12:55 PM

I have them blocked but if I didn't, I still wouldn't click because if I want something I'll google it instead of clicking on a weird advertisement.

You really should. Every question you answer helps these advertisments keep up and running!

I usually don't click advertisments, unless they're site-advertisements ( from other members).

Stronkadonk November 22nd, 2008 12:58 PM

No, I don't.
Although I sometimes click on Signature advertisements.

yes, signature advertisements may not be harmful, in contrast with the other advertisements

Mr. Epic November 22nd, 2008 1:01 PM

Adverts are just useless to me, I cant even see them thanks to Adblock Plus!

score_under November 22nd, 2008 1:46 PM

On some sites that avoid my filters, or if I'm not filtering, I will sometimes click an ad just to be kind to the site it's on :P

˚° ﺎ ﮟ סּ ﻛ °˚ November 22nd, 2008 1:47 PM

when im at school i click them to see if i can get a virus =D

Aegis November 22nd, 2008 2:01 PM

I don't even see the ads anymore, Adblock is your friend~ :3 But back when I could I didn't click them, I don't think I ever even looked at them XD

Snivi November 22nd, 2008 2:05 PM

I have firefox and I block the ads. I wouldn't click them if I could see them.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ November 22nd, 2008 2:09 PM

No, as I have them blocked. I probably wouldn't click on them anyway. Too many shady operations around with the ever present threat of viruses.

Jorah November 22nd, 2008 2:11 PM

Nah, you never know where you'll be lead to or if it'll download something to your computer

That's what my brother does XD

Vkazuic November 22nd, 2008 3:14 PM

Yay for adblock.

But I never clicked them before anyways. Waste of my time.

Crystal Clair November 22nd, 2008 6:02 PM

Only played with the interactive Zwinky ones till they became jpeg ;_; I liked sticking skirts on the girls' heads

Other than that, I don't want to get a virus so only if I see an advertisement from another site or one involving Pokemon games from Playasia or a preorder thingie, I'll never click on them. A few times I've accidentally clicked on a few and I was scared to death of getting adware or a virus.

HeavensNightSH November 22nd, 2008 6:04 PM

Heck no I don't >=(
That's why Firefox has the Adblock extension =D

Legobricks November 22nd, 2008 8:29 PM

Not the forum's ones; but sometimes those "you're a winner" ones you find on other sites, just to amuse myself at whatever pages they take me to.

I don't understand why it would be better in OVP but I can't be bothered to argue against it.

I don't click them, yet alone see them because of Ad-Block Plus.

GKS November 22nd, 2008 8:50 PM

I usually don't, I'm probably in the middle of doing something.
