Dishnetwork Background Advertising

Man, it really ruins the color of RealGM. Goddamn Dish Network probably paid RealGM quite a bit to do this.

Agreed, Its not even the color that pisses me off, it makes the site run so much slower. My browser is lagging so much...

lol.. I guess it's helping Dish Network. I called them up to ask about it. It's not really that great because you have to cancel your normal programming to get it. The Turbo package will be available in February of 2009.

Yeah this is making RealGM much slower. That's the only problem I have with it.

It's actually faster for me. Thank god they put it up there! I hated waiting 10 seconds for a page to load.. now it's take 3 seconds, literally 3 seconds.

Yup, haha, I realized that I had it, and just blocked the left and right margin...

All back to normal now

However there are still two small black bars on either side, I guess you can't get rid of them. Its not slowing down realgm, so I don't really care.

Can't on a work computer!

This is quite irritating.

adblock but then the bakcground turns black which sucks.

Yeah really, my RealGM is running MUCH slower than before.

Normally I don't adblock sites as a matter of policy (sites like RealGM couldn't survive without advertising), but here it's beyond advertising, there are huge performance issues.

This is AWFUL. Please, please get rid of this. Resizing the page, slower loading, and just UGLY. Honestly, I don't mind most ads, but this is just terrible. I mean, do you really want everyone downloading adblock, cutting off your ad revenue?

I'm noticing a HUGE slowdown. Put ads up if you need to, but i'll find somewhere else to go if I have issues with scrolling speed

Had to get adblock because of this

Texas Longhorns · Post #14 » by **Texas Longhorns** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 3:33 pm

I've noticed that at times it has been slow but other times it has been fast. It's sorta up and down for me.

I just adblocked it but yeah, realgm is now black on the sides.

Adblock is your friend. Sides go total black, though.

I know RealGM needs advertising money but damn, that's ridiculous.

Post #18 » by **Stanford** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 6:04 pm

As long as it's not a link, I'm ok with it.

Post #19 » by **PR07** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 6:28 pm

It seems a little excessive personally, but it is what it is.

This is the first time ever where ad-blocking the add is actually worse than having it on there.

The black on the sides clashes waaay too much with the material on the actual page.

PLease, get rid of this add, RealGM.
