I say stay ad-free; I love the fact that there are no annoying banners or pop ups on this site

Those little preview boxes on lj kind of annoy me. I say stay ad-free.

I have to agree. A tiny picture doesn't convince me to go to a site, especially when the color scheme is basically all I can make out. A little summary or a good name will peak my interest, but not the annoying tiny screens that pop up and block whatever else I'm trying to read.

Ad free and proud, please.  BSV is like a blessed quiet oasis in a sea of adverts.

Hehe, ad-free is nice, isn't it?

I'm grateful for you opinions, and if it continues this way, I'll forget about the idea. I still think I should clear up two things.

1) The idea behind this feature is not to convince you to visit the site, at least not to me. It's a way to know which link not to click. A missing or bad description can quickly lead to someone filling their screen with NSFW pictures or websites, and since quite a few people visit this site from work, well...

2) There are two ways to integrate this feature. One is what LJ did, have the box show up every time you hover over the link (and yes, that annoys me too). But the other option is to have the link work and look like you're used to, and have the box only show up if you hover over the little blurb icon next to the link. If I were to add this feature, I'd definitely go with the second version.

Not trying to change your minds, seeing the comments just made me think I should explain the details a bit better. Anyway, I'll go with whatever this thread ends up telling me. :-)

No ads, please. :)
