I didn't even notice when I was unsubscribed... advertising is everyway, we live in a consumer market, you could always go to deep dark Africa if you really wanted to get away from it all.. :)
*laughs* I'm the consumer queen,... I once bought Budweiser whn I normally buy Corona and I didn't know why until the next day I heard an add for Bud on my Launchcast player and was like... Wow....and anytime I see a Coke commercial, I want one... I don't even like it that much.

My advice to you Tahama is to just ignore the ads. Don't even look at what they say. Subscribing is a good thing, too. But I just avoid them as best I can.

Honestly, before i subscribed, I never noticed them at all, I guess I was just too enthralled with the game. :) or used to seeing ads everywhere already.

actually, i didn't even notice the ads before i subscribe and ofcourse now that it's gone (since i subscribe) i don't notice it even more... i guess after surfing on the net for many many years i've learnt to ignore them... Ofcourse, after having owned a website myself, I do tend to press on the ad to help the webmaster make money.. hahaha... I use to make about $5US a month on my own website ads!!

When I first found Sleuth and b4 I subscribed, I never payed any attention to the ads.I was really into the game, so that is probably why. Maybe if you're not too much into the game,then you would notice all that stuff. Never bothered me!

I was lucky. When I joined the game, there were no banner ads yet. Still, I supported Ben in introducing them, and I think it's appropriate, despite the fact that I hate them. You still get a lot for free, and subscribing makes the game so much more fun that if banner ads push someone towards doing it, so much the better!

Not only do I love my fellow agents, as well as those I have played with in the Underground and Behind Closed Doors and those who moved on to other agencies, but I love being able to store gear, store cases, get help with other people's contacts, hunt for treasure, travel, and, oh yes - sleuth banner-free!
