Neither was I. Perhaps an option to skip the video immediately instead of being forced to watch a long portion of it.
Thankfully it hasn't reappeared the last three times I entered chat.

I muted it, because there wasn't an instant skip option.
However, it SHOULD only play once per user, then it won't appear again.
Let us know if you have it constantly appearing, as that's not what it's supposed to do.

I'm glad to hear it's a one time ordeal. The idea is still ill-implemented in my opinion. No disrespect to the band or to those that set the video in chat start up.
In the future, if this should come up again, I hope the skip function will not have a timer. Preferably, however, it would be nice to not have to be faced with it at all. Promoting the band is fine, but inhibiting people in the process - however brief - is not the best course.
Thanks for the replies, mods.

You'll have to agree, though.. SP is so much better than a lot of other junk you'll find out there! At least they're Christain
They sound like the rest of modern/conventional rock that's stamped out to me. I appreciate the prose of their lyrical content, no doubt! Finding Christian rock that appeals to my musical taste is pretty difficult though.
General answer to everyone:
If you're a supporter of the site, there's a no-ads option in the control panel. Though I'm sorry that wasn't really working for that, so my apologies there (to any supporters). But it was just one minute, only one time. I'll try to make sure that if there is another such campaign, it won't show even one time, for supporters who have ads disabled.
If you're not a supporter of the site, and you're actually complaining that once in your months/years of using CC you had to wait through a one-minute commerical, well okay we'll make an "ad-free paid membership" just for you since you're not satisfied with the free membership version of CC.

Also keep in mind that the reason we've had to accept a sponsor and run a campaign is because we really needed the funds, even a small amount, because there has only been about 1% of active users each month participating in supporting the site. But my apologies again to any supporters who had ads disabled.
Also on a positive note, I believe we're getting more donations now so thank God for that and I hope it continues. We'd love to be totally "ad-free" if there's plenty of funding and participation in that. But if not we're also thankful for any Christian sponsor, to supplement the donations.

I like it too April.
Though we need funds, we're actually pretty selective, even about what Christian music videos we'll allow to be advertised in that way. I think that one has wide enough appeal and I believe it glorifies God and I know the lead singer (and I believe his whole band) does want to glorify God with their music.

I didn't mean for this to go over your head, Robo. I wasn't aware that this was a means to an end; I thought you were simply trying to promote the group.
No problem Siberian. We made a commitment to do this several weeks ago when we were really low on funds so we took it as God's provision and now we're simply delivering what we promised and we thank God for providing a Christian sponsor when it was needed to supplement what was lacking.
And many people do like it.
