@mike808 And yes, it might make more sense to put that banner on the left or right edge of the screen, where most modern monitors have their greatest amount of real estate nobody gives a rat’s ass about. But advertisers have learned that ads over there are easy to ignore, and must be made Really Fucking Annoying before anyone notices them. (And then they wonder why the shit they’re trying to pimp doesn’t sell.) At least Meh is giving us the option to see it once, click on the exy, and have it go away until we log in via a different machine, browser, phone, or psychic mind control backfeed link. (You don’t have those yet? Pity.)
People have griped about the banner. Most banners can’t be closed, though many will let you cycle to a different one. This banner can be dismissed, and stays gone for the rest of the day. That’s actually fairly unusual.
You mean the banner at the TOP about the SIDEdeal?
@mike808 Subject to a local gravity reversal issue or anomalous monitor mounting exception, that would be the one.

What’s the reason for this thread? I’m confused.
@PooltoyWolf Welcome to the Meh forums.
@gt0163c I’ve been here for quite some time.
@PooltoyWolf The reason is because the Add Topic button demands attention.

@PooltoyWolf You’re confused? Does PooltoyWolf know you’re using his login?

But zapping the “Coming soon” banner before 8EDT won’t also zap the one that pops up then.
@werehatrack It also will not stop the e-mail with the same exact deal.
@yakkoTDI Since I don’t get those, I’m pretty sure they can be zapped somewhere.
I found the somewhere. It exists.
Wait, people are actually complaining about the Sidedeal banner? When did the world manage to create a 25 hour day?
Why are people freaking out about such an awesome thing?
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
@krock1 Kvetchers gonna kvetch.
