Oh course the link takes you off-site, it's a damn advertisement. As far as I know, Ralle is not trying to make THW into a poker site itself, so the poker site that is advertised is not THW. It's quite logical that you'd be taken off-site, don't you agree?
A site like this needs a way of making money, and Advertising is the easiest and least annoying feature. Another solution would be to demand a monthly fee from users of THW. Which one do you prefer?

While in principal, it makes sense and is respectable, it completely screams 'Sellout' to everyone at the site. If that's not a problem, so be it, but no one likes contributing to a sellout.
So the banner ads at the top and bottom of every page aren't making enough money?
I don't particularly understand advertising like that anyways, as the fact that it's there isn't going to make anyone want to go to their site any more. If someone was looking for a poker site, you can always google poker, no need to remind everyone of it's existence 24 7.
And yeah, Ralle just responded back to me, that's not going away anytime soon.
But back to topic. In my opinion, putting a forum for that in the top of the page, is just too much. Put it in the botton of the forums or put it somewhere else. Please just not on the top of my forum list.

Sorry that i've left you all.
I'd assume Ralle gets better payment because it is in within the immediate area one views when you log in to the forum. If you would have to scroll down in order to find it, it's not worth the same because hardly as many will see it. I prefer this over large flashy Advertisements that call for your attention. This one blends with the forum and that's a good thing. Makes it look more "professional" ..
I am sorry if the ad bugs you. But I think this kind of ad is much better than popups and popunders and ads playing sounds. Those are completely inacceptable but I think this one is OK.
You do know that when you have an add on your site you aren't obliged to click on it?
For all i care i don't mind and i don't see such a big problem, most people who have access to the internet are aware of what poker is and i see absolutely no reason for anyone to object.

You can't compare a strip club with poker, one contains nudity(the poker that is).
