As best I can tell, they are in rotation with other generic non targeted ads. Like Netflix, state farm ins, AT&T u-verse. The funny thin as these generic ads seam to stick from page to page.

So really the value of the banner ads for sponsor has been replaced by generic ads.

Yeah that's pretty messed up! Not only has that been a big part of the Vendors advertising, all members pay for the year and part of the benefits have been to get rid of ads.
Now everyone is just stock with spam all over the forum.

Hi.

Did some more follow-up on this and they have changed the priority on sponsor ads so if you are a sponsor, they will scroll through more often than other ads.I refreshed several times to see if this is working and it appears that this has been updated.

Thanks

Vendor banners gone again...
Deleted login link from sponsors.s2ki.com...

People are starting to use ad blocking programs because of your popup ads, blocking paying vendor ads as well...

IMHO as a web developer, if you're collecting money from members from a website, blog, or forum, plus money from paying vendors, banner ads are just greedy.
