Default New google ads

Personally, I don't care for the new advertising layout.
I think the excessive google ads clutter up the forum and
look terrible but understand the concept.

They just make the pages look too busy with everything
blending in together. Or is it just me? Anyone...

Yeah....the ads are ridiculous, by far to many on the forum pages. Top and Bottom of page are tolerable, but down the right side, thats got to go.
Are the new owners even listening to us. Pages are to "busy", pages load slow and its overwhelming.
I can appreciate the need to adverstise...however, this is over the top.

Are the "New" owners even reading our comments.

The new owners have been advised of the response to the advertisements. We now await their response.

Their ad guru has been in touch with me and has assured me they want to reach the best possible conclusion.

Bottom line is, you're gonna see ads. I can't argue against them wanting to generate income off the site...that's what having a business is all about. The fact that Jeff never ran them on the board was simply a boon to us. But times (and owners) have changed and they're trying to get it tailored to the point where it isn't as intrusive and where the ads cater to the posting base more.

They can throw as many ads as they want on these pages, as long as it doesn't take well over 1 minute for each of my pages to load.

Just get them off the right side....Top and Bottom I can (almost) live with. The forums seem squashed to the left.
