amg the tears will flowFollow

I shouldn't be laughing, but I am.

Not sure if this is a glitch or something intentional (teehee) but the background for the FFXIV forum front page is a massive Rift ad. As I recall, Blizzard had something similar around Cataclysm launch and if it's some paid ad revenue for ZAM I say more power to you, but those crazy cats over in XIV land are gonna scream.

If it's NOT intentional, here's what I did:

1) Was browsing Rift general forums.
2) Navigated to FFXIV site through the Network drop down in the upper right corner of screen.
3) BAM! Rift ad behind the XIV panes.
4) Navigated to FFXIV General forums. Rift ad gone.
5) Navigated from FFXIV General forums back to front page from the Network drop down menu. BAM! Rift ad.

I can already hear them sputtering with indignation...

I rarely saw it when I was avidly following FFXIV. Now that I just swing by from time to time I see it on a fairly regular basis. I actually missed the Cataclysm ad because I would have tabs open for the forums I visited and they never went to the homepage.

Thing I find amusing about it is more the fact it's not on the WoW main news page but most of the others.

Only forum that will have an uproar about it is the one with the most insecure playerbase, so yeah FFXIV forum will be in an uproar over it from fear of losing even more players.

That ad type is called a skin. We run them frequently on the front pages only.

Does this mean that you are done with FFXIV? If so, that's great news to the rest of the community.
