When you log in, you are an adgrunt. Here's what you get for your 20-second effort:

No google text ads or flashy banners, ever - only see the pretty ads that we give a toss about. Nice.

We're currently in the middle of taking the advice thrown at us to switch to ad-supported site.

The ability to "favorite" your favorite stuff - it's like an internal site bookmarking system, favorite the articles and ads you want to refer back to, create your own library which you can browse later. Very practical! Don't be caught serching for a great ad again.

The ability to comment

The ability to post stuff - you can upload and post your own work, gossip in the forums or even review an ad book or film related to advertising and you'll get brownie points in return.

The ability to rate stuff - think an ad is great? Five stars! Sucks? One star. Help shape the "best and worst of" lists.

Subscribe to stuff via email - you can tailor the subscription the way you like, subscribe to your favorite topic (say, car ads) or everything new including comments, or just the comments to your posts. You'll receive updates via email.

For the time being, the upgrading to super adgrunts and thus gaining ability to download ads is temporarly closed while we sort out the kinks as we switch over to the advertising supported system people have been nagging at us to employ for years. All people who are super adgrunts have their accounts 'frozen in time' so when we get it back on track, they have lost no super adgrunt status time.

If you want to you can upgrade to become a super adgrunt with access to 40,000+ Quicktime commercials. You can pay for your upgrade with collected brownie points or your VISA/Mastercard. You don't have to upgrade, you can choose to do so whenever you want, for a short time or a long time if you want. Being super adgrunt only changes your adland account status in that you can view the commercials - when your time runs out you are still an adgrunt, just not "super" with extra access to the commercial archive.

More on brownie points here. If you want to learn more about how you upgrade you can check Super Adgrunt Upgrade section of the FAQ. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions.
