    @All - Thanks for your patience.

    After much consideration, as of today, we've decided to take off the slider ads. The slider ads are turned off for everyone - registered users and guest.

    Thanks.

    Out of curiousity, on what do you base your decision (outside the obvious protests from us?)

    @Bjr - I never saw you guys as protest. It was considered as feedback.

    Some of the points that were considered were:

    Most important of all is, I found that not just registered members, it does have a negative impact on those users who are not registered too. Not a good experience if I had to close the windows every time I visit any page in the site.

    Ease of Navigation Vs Revenue generated. If it's really worth putting users through sometime for the money it generated.

    There was a bit of lag while rendering pages. I cannot pin point if it was because of the technology used, but I personally experienced it and after taking of the ads of, it's not the case anymore.

    These were the things I considered before pulling it down.

    And regarding mp3 attachments and other things, we really have some plans up the sleeve. We are working on it and need some funds before we can get them functional fully. Hope it happens soon.

    Cheers :)
