Yup, yup, you know it.

Odd sized banners rock because anything atypical is more likely to grab the surfer's attention, when compared to standard sized banners and, as the venerable gentleman from the UK stated above, the odder the size, the less likely they'll get blocked by the likes of Norton and other blocking proggies.

Well, after a lot of tinkering, I got it to under 40K, by a mere cunt hair, after dropping the extra animation in the moving background which now makes the background static instead of the constant shimmer of movement i had originally envisioned in my minds eye, but, thats the comprimise that has to be made when you have constraints on things like file size and now you tell me I dont need to be constrained by the standardized banner sizes in order to increase views from people with ad blockers and garner some interest because its a slightly different size than expected.

I think I have just dethroned you UW |king|

Thanks for the great feedback guys 'n' gals
