nevermind, thats just a banner

i cant believe someone would spend money on advertising just so they can collect email adresses. thats just dumb
They're not just email addresses they're collecting ... they're email addresses of gullible people! Those must be worth, like 10x a normal email address, because you already know that the person is a sucker so they'll be more willing to sign up for stuff.

Also BaroqueXena has a good point, it may be a way for them to harvest email addys AND passwords, so if you use the same pass at multiple sites, they can steal your account, or delete it, or whatever dishonest thing they feel like doing.
