Thank you for the insight - feedback helps us make things better...

The home page may appear "dated" to many folks, since it's mostly all text-based; many sites use a lot of embedded graphics, javascript, and flakey browser-dependent hacks, etc to make edges look rounded, text appear highlighted when mouse pointer is over it, more polished look, etc ... eventually cann.com may be updated with some of those elements, but not until most all folks are on high-speed connections and faster computers.

While on the topic of "dated" ... Google's homepage looks similar in design as to when it started about 7 years ago with minimal graphics and features ... doesn't seem to stop people from visiting.

On a related topic, in a sense, the cann.com home page already changes all the time - the picture of the day updates daily, the cannabis news headlines updates every few hours as do the message board topics shown; the homepage is very dynamic with many embedded elements that update frequently.

I understand your sentiments about the ads ... the way the ads are presented is by design; that isn't always the best thing for visitors, but advertising greatly helps cover costs so it's one of those tradeoffs we have to make to keep cann.com running.

Thank you again for your feedback and comments - it better helps us know what we should consider changing/improving, etc.
