The Coast is hip to rich media ads, they add so much more to the users experience on the website. it’s just fantastic….
When did a “good design” have to become so complicated.

Are you talking site design or ad design? If you want to start paying to bitch, we could easily dump all our ads. Put your money where yr mouth is, OP. Do I hear $2 per bitch? $5?
As long as the Coast is free, you can put up as many ads as you want. My brain just ignores them now anyway.
Hey, they’ve gotta pay me to come here.
I barely see them anymore….
Ido not like,however, the the fucking golf add that has video when I’m on a computer accessing the site. Sometimes it lags so much when I’ve got a busy pc that Ihave time to flip my toast (which isn’t a weird saying or anything… though I suppose it kinda sounds it. I’m literally walking to my kitchen and flipping my toast and walking back).
anyhoo…. I hate those video ads. they blow.
Thats what rich media is zZz.
The Coast is one of the nicest sites, but these rich media corporate ads are spreading like a virus over the internet. They take away from clean functioning sites and gum it up with stupid tacky crap. You can’t escape the army of marketers looking for your dollar.
Don’t like ads, get a little Firefox add-on called AdBlock Plus. You’ll never see an ad again.
zZz, ‘flipping my toast’ is not a weird saying if it’s true, but…
Does your toaster have half of the elements broken or something? Why would you need to flip the bread??
Andy, I would CRY if we had to pay to bitch. This unfortunately is often the highlight of my day.
ad… gotcha… reasoning being I only see the fucking thing is because I’m torrenting like a pirate on meth and losing bandwidth faster than Sarah Jessica Parker’s losing her looks. I’m going with Fever and blocking that shit.
Dogma, if you knew my history of/with toasters… you’d understand. I’ll post a bitch on it soon. In fact, that’s what I’m using ‘flipping the toast’ for from now on… going absolutely mental.
Usage:
Dude totally flipped his toast and beat the shit outta him
or
a little fender bender isn’t worth flipping your toast over… you’ve got insurance.
Nice….
