Anyone been on BR and got a full screen washout of a Lawless ad?

Step too far for online ads?

yes and closed it again straight after... they'll lose members/posters that way in exactly the same way the userbase plummeted when they changed the forum layout. I rekon it has 25% of the posts now daily compared to 18 months ago

BR uses 15 different tracking systems on the front page.

STW uses 3.

They (they being bikeradar) did something similar a few months ago with large pop up ads with a semi-transparent effect. It was basically impossible to use the mouse to close them without clicking on the ad and being whisked away. It happened a few times, and I didn't go on the bikeradar again till this post came up to have a butchers. So... royally backfired on bikeradar, but the click-thrus were probably through the roof, just because it was so hard not to.
