I tend to agree viking, better planning a little thought would have put this add in a better location and remain just as effective without being as annoying and an inconveniance to players. WGT is shooting itself in the foot with this practice, disgrunteled people will bail if the oportunity arises. advertizing is an integral part of WGT operations and business, and is beneficial to everyone when done correctly, but many players and i am not the only one, have decided not to spend a cent till WGT corrects this. In the long run if some become annoyed to the point of quitting (die hards never quit though they are annoyed none the less) you will have less membership to not only read these adds and spend $$$, but it may also open up an oportunity for someone else to create a competitive site while giving customers a better service or product, then you get a mass exodus and the famous kneejerk reaction on WGT's part to correct the situation. Trust me my freind i have seen this before on other game sites, sooner or later it will happen. In the mean time our only recourse is how we spend our $$$
