I believe it is more important to use banners that are relevant to the topic on top of pages. The Conundrum Wine banner is distracting?

Well, this is just temporary and they aren't profiting from that advertisement. I think it really draws attention and looks cool, but I have heard alot of protests from members. I agree that it does grab your attention, but it's temporary.

Mahalo is trying to let everyone know about Conundrum, since it' a fairly new site. :D.

Any advertisement give up to certain limits of the consumer not more than that, consumer act according to the situation prevailed by the instant. He will ignore all the other things.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
