a word about our ads

Published Jan 21, 2009

Hello GOLO:

We've seen your blogs and read some of the comments posted about two ads in particular, that have been rotating on the site: The weight loss ad and the Home Depot ad.

I want to let you all know personally, that they are being removed.

While it is important that we have ads, please know that it is not our goal to provide a bad experience or annoy you with them in any way.

We never want to put an ad before you that automatically plays any type of audio without you prompting it to do so. In fact, we are against that entirely.

So, keep the feedback coming, with the complete understanding that we can't always act.

But as we've shown you in the past and will continue to show you, your opinion matters to us a great deal.

Stay warm, and have a great day!

 

-Angela

lol awesome! thanks for this wonderful proactive measure to keep us all happy!

Angela...you are the greatest!

That is great Angela - way to go. And to let us know that you guys hear us and we are important!

Thank you!

Thanks, the home depot one didn't bother me, I usually keep my sound muted but the weight loss one was really nasty

Believe it or not, I've never even noticed those ads...WOW, I guess when my kids' teachers accuse them of living in their own world, there may be a grain of truth in it...and it's genetic. :)

Angela,you do a good job and I appreciate you for all you do.

Neither one bothered me, I just ignored them....

I'm glad that Home Depot ad is going, all of a sudden I get jolted out of my chair here in my office it was so loud. I may have to take off the rest of the day so I can go home and change my pants.

Then Angela....will you please fix the chat screen?

I asked you about it a couple of days ago. Hili and I can't read the bottom line...What should we do? Its already set correctly...
