Full-page ads are really obnoxious.

Money.

BTW, how do these advertisers get the money to pay the websites in the first place? I don't think that many people are going to click the first penis enlargement ad they see and immediately pay up.
Good ads dont pay per click... they pay CPM (cost per mil). For every thousand pageviews, I get a premium.

I put them in because premium membership is dying down; so hopefully this is an incentive for people to become premiums.
 
Based on the Alexa stats for this website and average bandwidth usage of VB, you already make a net positive just having people come here.

Attempting to annoy them into getting premium is a poor plan(see: Pester-ware, and why it doesn't work), it's more likely to keep people from coming back at all, myself included(no real loss, I realize).
 
I admit the full page ads are annoying; however, as long as the ads on the site dont give me a virus, im all for it. Hey, gotta lose money to earn money. Also, depending on my cash this week, i may get a premium by Saturday. Damn you and your evil plans Jaxel. XD

EDIT: Yo Jaxel, yo need this game in the Arcade section !!

Kill the popups game !! :D

Alexa stats haven't been valid since 2003. Besides, you have no idea what you're talking about.

This website costs $492 a year to keep up, plus $140 for the Javachat, plus $180 for the vBulletin license.
