Just saying

[inspiration]

This affiliate AGD sponsor with the blinking red/black banner really is annoying and distracting to say the least. It is even worse when you view the AGD forum on your mobile.

Sorry but this keeps your visitors away and I have conversations that include this "AG Red STOP sign"

Should probably move this to a private conversation between us - can you PM me?

Understand totally that you need sponsor money to run this site Andy, and really appreciate all you do! AGD is THE SITE for affiliates.
But I do understand @inspiration , the AG banner in the forum sidebar is somewhat annoying, maybe cuz it is to big.
Why not try size 234x60 static jpg format?
