The possibility of adverts.

I have no problem with it. I'm assuming Google ads are vastly different than other ads, then...

Vastly different.

They don't scream or flash or offer ugly smilies for your IM. They're subtle, and basically text in a frame. (I think. Anyone care to elaborate?)

Yeah, that's basically what they are. Also, they have the nice habit of tying in quite closely with the subject matter of the forum/website they're on (it's Google, after all, keywords and such), so they're not as non sequitorial as most ads.

I'm fine with them.

Actually i have to pay Graham for something like 3 years of Hosting... i'm expecting the men in black to come and get me anytime by now

No men in black are coming Marco. I wouldn't do something so clichéd and mean to one of my friends.

They wear blue.

So. Apparently people are fine with the idea. I've places an advert in the sidebar of the main site, just for a starter. I'm also going to place one on the forum. THere are two places I could reasonably put it without distrupcting the layout too much. At the bottom of the page, or right underneath the main navigation. I'm leaning toward the bottom.

Anyway I'll stick it up tomorrow if there aren't any objections...

I am so totally amused by the fact that it's an ad for Branson tourism.

Meh. Not all it's cracked up to be. Yakov Smirnoff is still pretty funny, though.

Wow. That has got to be the most unobtrusive ad I've ever seen. If that's all it is, then I have no objection at all.

I don't like ads in general, but I don't object Google ads, since they are more or less some text with some links in a box. Thankfully, you can alter the colors and they don't have blinking GIFs, annoying flash movies, nor do they pop up exactly at the place where you wanted to see the content of the page.

I'd just like to say after reading that it was still possible to donate to this site, I PayPaled Graham .55.

I hope that pays for five minutes of sever time.

He actually did it. God must love me.

Ok, the big one is in now. Click away! Unless you don't want to, in which case don't bother. It's relaly your choice.

Ohhh, I've seen these ads before. Wow, they really are unobstrusive.

How would you react to google adverts appearing on parts of the site?
