Title: 3D ad at the bottom of the forum pages
Post by: Bud on October 18, 2022, 08:59:52 pm
That blury vendor's ad at the bottom of this page turned out to be an actual red/blue 3D picture. I was looking through my junk the other day and found a pair of red/blue 3D glasses, tried them on the ad and the center of the ad popped right out.  ;D
Why would anyone want to make such ads in 2022 is one's guess.  :-//

Do you mean this ad? Yes, it seems it was a couple of decades late. Would have been really cool in the eighties...

Nerd-sniping. The fact that we're reading this very thread means the ad is working.  :-DD

You'll be pleased to know that their ad run is finished, forgot to remove it this month.

No different to having a QR code or some cryptic address. It's designed to reach and engage a specific audience. As you said, it worked!

Nope, it did not work, because less than 24hrs later i can't remember what it was about.

Well I think it's really cool NOW. It shows a capability to think of something different, that doesn't involve the usual. Props to them for sending something out that the 2% of intelligent people (like the OP) will pick up on, and appreciate.
