I NEVER look at the ads, I didn;t even know ads were there until you said that....

Me too on the never look. If someone were advertising free money, I would miss getting my share.

Look at the ads and every now and then click through one of them. It is a god way to show Admin our appreciation for helping us out like he did.

Neworleans.com has an Adwords account and it is possible that they do not even know they are advertising on this site.

Ads are content-driven by the provider. If this were a forum about beagles, you'd see a lot of pet-related ads. TOB did not make a directed effort to have ads placed here. But if we wanted them not to, we could. We have no plans in that regard at this time.

The ad provider's policies dictate we do not request that visitors click ads, and we adhere. That prohibition, however, does not apply to Amazon ad content.

I will refrain from asking people to click the banners, but I did notice that the Amazon ad has the entire series of Stragate SG-1 for $116. Not a bad deal for 10 seasons of a great show. I wish I could afford it right now.

edit: my bad, it is 250, but I swear last night I saw 116, oh well.
