I'm pretty sure I've seen the NW banner displayed on (at least) a few occasions.

Though, my ability to ignore ads (and other stuff) is almost Jedi-like. Maybe
this is why modern advertisers are resorting to new (extreme) tactics like
full-screen ads and other gimmicks, the attention space is getting more crowded
and many people are forced to be more selective about information in general
(not just ads).

It used to be the most obnoxious internet ad was that rapidly
convulsing/blinking gif animation that just demanded urgent attention (, I
still see those ads btw), or the one that was underhandedly forged to resemble
a Windows dialog box (with the OK button).

Nowadays, ads will supplant the whole web page and force you to click 'No
Thanks.'

I must admit, occasionally I'll notice a keyword or something that will grab my
attention, this must be why modern marketing is very geared toward targeting
peoples interests. This seems more effective than annoying (or tricking)
people. But I guess it depends on their marketing strategy, which may be to
establish brand recognition or something other than immediate sales.

Sorry, does this thread still have a (relevant) subject? I think TMC is back
up. Maybe we can start a thread on TMC discussing TMS discussing TMC. Now
there's a thread that could potentially last forever.
