Hi, guys. I've added google ads in the forum areas. There is a massive redesign/rewrite going on right now, with an estimated completion date of late January/Feb. After that, advertising will be built in to every page in a *gentle* way that will not get in the way of your daily usage. I'll solicit feedback on advertising situation when the redesign is done, and we'll tweak it from there.
It *does* take money to keep the board going. Right now, it is a laboUr of love, with just enough coming in to maintain the costs of the site. All of us who contribute information and maintain the site are currently doing it for free.
Regards,
Eric
