So VERY, VERY cool.



Closer examination of said website shows something interesting... I'll let y'all figure it out.

I had to click the banner for some screw reason all I could see was white in the banner space (I don't use any type of ad blockers either, so I am not sure why), but I clicked the link and aye curumba!!!



seriously cool.

[xita]

While certainly I relate to the message that without Tara I am not watching and this board doesn't support BtVS.



The ad is in no way connected with the board. There is no affiliation.

Woo and Hoo!!!



Frickin' Fantasmagoric Banner!



Hopefully the word will spread and UPN will get lots and lots of e-mail saying:



We Miss Amber!

The banner ad might not be affiliated with TWoP, but someone spent $100 to post it on the site (I just happened to notice a posting on TWoP - "put your message here $100/day"). Kinda surprised at the link - Xtreme games??? Hey, I loved it though.

You know I've heard about people like me. But I never made the connection. They walk one road to set them free, And find they've gone the wrong direction. But there's no need for turning back 'cause all roads lead to where I stand. And I believe I'll walk them all No matter what I may have planned

[mscheckmate]

Outstanding.



That made my evening.

[DRUSILLA LOVER]

pretty cool. I wonder who paid for that and started it....Do you think it will change there minds about bringing tara back alive?

[famer]

$100/day?! It'll be worth it if it gets ME's attention.



did you guys notice that there's an e-mail address at the bottom of the ad? I don't know if it's just for web stuff or what.

[atse28]

Unfortunately I don't see how they can bring Tara back....all I've read is that they may bring Amber Benson back as another character.



We can only hope.

[xita]

You know let's keep the talk about that ad, we know Amber isn't coming back. Everyone knows that. And we all know why, THANK YOU AMBER BENSON! There is a thread for that somewhere on the board.

If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.

I actually think it's a little odd that this banner should appear now, such a long time after the event. However, that doesn't detract from the sentiment.

She's the cutest of the Kittens with her tits as warm as mittens and her firm yet supple...tight embrace...

[themagicpixie]

I love this banner. I love the ad! People are commenting about it in the Tara forum on TWoP.

[dekalog]

kinda says it all - don't it



plus always good to see that beautiful smiling face - just yummy

I could be way off base - but my read on the ad - its fans who have read the spoilers and want to give props to Amber/let her know that Tara is missed/not forgotten and Ambers stand appreciated. so I'm using those email pull downs/sending post cards to the suits

[tommo]

Yes hip, I understand why the ad is there, thank you. But like xita said, Amber's explained it all enough for me.

[urnofosiris]

HIP, I really don't think anything will get through to the producers of that show, after all that happened they still seem utterly and totally unwilling to consider even for a millisecond the possibility that just maybe there is this infinitessimal teeny tiny microscopic chance that lately they are not -and have not- been telling the greatest story of all time and that maybe other people may actually have a valid points when they criticize it and them. I admire and appreciate your steadfastness and loyalty to WT and my pessimism aside I really do hope this will help.

Doh. Never mind, I had ad blocking on.



I do think this is worth supporting (so thanks, whoever did it ). It won't change anything, but it's a very good time to remind people that - Hey, Willows soulmate just died.



(Even more edits because I forgot which board I was on).

Cool banner. I clicked through the banner to the next screen and saw the message and the opportunity to email, but the email button wouldn't work.

I don't think anything will "get through" either



and like I said - I could be way off base but



my read was that the ad was a way to give "props"/salute Amber and her choice



It sure does make it known that fans remember and care

[urnofosiris]

Ah Sorry HIP, I did not read it as a salute to Amber, given the text in the banner it looks like an attempt to convince the people at ME to bring Tara back and a tribute to WT/Tara at the same time. If the intend was to salute or thank Amber then maybe the text should have said so to make it more clear.

I think it sort of a left handed way of giving amber props by showing her that people still care and want tara back



but your right a outright "Thanks" to her would also be nice



now if I only had a spare 100 - anyone got a spare $100?

This is a very nice banner that I fear will fall on deaf ears and blind eyes.

[kpmuse]

It sure is nice to see Amber's beautiful smile showing people that she is very loved. That Willow and Tara were very meaningful and special to alot of people and the ad shows that people have not forgotten about Tara even if the show has.



It can't be said often enough how special Tara and Willow are and they will NEVER be forgotten!

[WebWarlock]

Yes, I built that website.



But I am not at liberty to say who paid for it. This was a "hired" gig.



For my money though, anytime the connection is made between Tara's murder and Buffy's falling ratings I am a happy guy.



Will it bring Amber/Tara back? No.

Will it get back to ME/UPN/Fox? Who knows. Well, actually I do.



But hopefully, years from now we will hear a conversation like this:



"Buffy? Oh, yeah, that was that show that was canned after they killed off Amber Benson's character."

"What idiot would get rid of Amber Benson?"



I think the banner looks great myself. The website is simple and to the point.



I also happen to think that this is a ver good article, Ten Ways That Charmed is Better Than Buffy.

WebWarlock, you are absolutely right! I bet you that within a few years, someone will be having the conversation you described.



And thank you for the link to the article. Charmed really does knock the spots off Buffy doesn't it?

[VampNo12]

Quite a stunning banner, well done ! Yes, the message will "fall on deaf ears", but ME can't deny what impact the loss of Amber/Tara has had on their ratings (it's time they wake-up to reality).
