Definetly the ones we have now are less intrusive, IMO...

What if they closed automatically like on softpedia:

In this case users can disable the inline advertisments if they want to simply by clicking a link!

I really can't stand inline ads. They're incredibly obtrustive and interrupt you reading. I usually avoid sites with these as they always get in the way and disrupt you.

I´m not sure what that site does different. I suspect the hotlinking should stop after clicking a link, but it simply doesn´t for me. Even after refreshing they come back after a couple of seconds :P

And if the question is about intrusiveness, putting such obvious ads in the texts people always look at is certainly a lot more intrusive then having the ads in a seperate section. Having to click a link each time to clear them out doesn't really help, imho. In fact, it even draws a lot of attention to them. The bad kind; it might make people feel forced to click them.

That said I personally don't mind the hotlinked text. It makes the text look a bit messy, and it might interfere with the cool hotlinked games I just noticed (:P), but personally I would be able to live with that if necessary. Those tool-tips are godawfull, though

Alrighty, I see the general response to intext ads is that they are an annoyance.... Well, I was curious, but I guess we'll stay away from them for the time being

Darn chiming in late. Kosta, if it makes you money and thus makes it easier for you to support Abandonia, I say go for it.

That kind of in-line ads could be better

Well, if they let you rise more money, I think that's not a so unbearable thing!
