Suggestions for &quot;support&quot; text links? Inflate your Upload Space

as you can notice the "support apolyton" links on the top right of forum posts, have been replaced with new text links to the PLUS pages.

the texts are random and i'd like to expand the variety.

any ideas?

"Browse Apolyton Ad-Free" -- Good one.
"Remove this text" -- Not bad
"We have the solution for Avatar Enlargement" -- Cute, but too long.

Based on my spambox, this should be effective --

Increase Avatar Length and Girth!

Landing page needs some work too...

I must say this place is really starting to overflow with links . I was on Poly a few days ago with a guy who hadn't seen Poly for a long time, and he said that there's an overhwelming number of links, boxes and buttons on each page .

Yeahn I was thinking the same thing, it's getting kind of messy to be honest.
Time for spring cleaning.

Can this be made an option, or as a style?
Something like :
simplyfied (few links only) versus
power user : more links then you will use.

Yup, the search boxes at top of the thread, as well as the Print, Send to Friend, etc., are hardly ever used by me. I'd also be fine with the removal of that chat box.

I hope Plus members also get rid of those game offers - Civ 3 for 9.99$, and whatnot.

To be or not to be, who cares: Subscribe

Bit long I know.........

Actually a slight variation of one of them:

Have change? Get something!

SECRET: Don't Click !

Even as it has never been said in Star-treck, slight variation of it:

Beam me up, Mark!
Beam me up, Dan!



Some others:

If you only put a few words

can read your posts without
seeing the ads

I suggest:
"Will remove ads for money!"
"Clicking Here Will Destroy The World"
