why have the ads gotten a lot more colourful and eye catching?
before they were text based and I could ignore them, now they are all colourful and glittery.... (bloody annoying to say the least)
why the change?

The answer is in your post.

It is because I am testing out some of the features found in the Google Adsense system. The performance of text ads with different colors vs image ads. |

Laffen deserves some money back for his hard work I think. |

Laffen if it's down to site revenue as well, I'm sure the >500's and other regulars will click them if you keep the old non eye catching ones around.
I know I'll help out with the clicking business

Please don't click on an ad unless you are interested in the product/service. |

I don't have a problem with ads tbh. They are just there, you can ignore if you want. Adsense ads are actually usually quite relevant and a good way to find products or services when you are looking for it.
That said I use the hosts file to block ad servers. I do this to block ad servers associated with pop-up and pop-under campaigns. If an advertiser isn't known to run these campaigns then I'm okay with it. Moderate inline advertising is okay by my book.

Thats all good for those of us who are mature enough to know what to click on and what not to, but for the younger members or members' children who may happen to chance upon Esato, I don't think this is the best thing to expose them to:

I also have seen ones about adding glitter to my profile or something. What profile? Why would I want glitter anyway. Like the majority of Esato users, I am a male and am uninterested by the wonders of glitter. And the female members who regularly post here seem more sophisticated than to want glitter on their "profile".
i wouldn't mind having glitter on my profile
