Yes, there are several things that set me off here:
1. Whatever network you're serving the image ads from is already in my blacklist, so I just get the loading indicator. The indicator animation is irritating.
2. Get rid of the fade-out animations. Just have it disappear.
3. Any event that fires on mouse movement is evil. Re-position the ad on page-up/page-down instead.
Thanks for the feedback dfranke. Sounds like you've got AdBlocker extension installed on Firefox. Our NetworkAds don't currently work with AdBlocker but our ImageAds and TextAds should.
These are great feature ideas I will add to Trac for new releases.
Ping me once you've implemented these and I'll take another look. But anyway, like I said, I'm as curmudgeonly as they come about this sort of thing. If you succeed in not annoying me and still get clickthroughs from other people, then you've definitely got a viable product.
