While it is a good reminder to vote with the countdown displayed as an ad here in Rune Rebels, my graphics card does overheat with it displayed on any page in the forums. The only way I have found to disable it is adding a filter to my ad blocking software, so if I leave my browser open in RR previously any time I may have to check the forums for player emergencies my card is hassled and heats up. There is such a thing where upper temps would cause a low end graphics card to fail.
So while it is a nice touch, players using the forums could potentially overheat their cards. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to put the banner on every aspect of the forums.
