Yeah, maybe Piptol. He's going to be 101 in a few days... or something. :wtnod:
Seriously...
I don't mind a couple ads. I don't even care if they are Google's. If Google scans the page for keywords, wouldn't the ad content for a site like this be geared towards programmers? Who knows, they might actually have something that some us will want to buy. If it helps to keep QBNews around, then do it.

Well ok, I invested in a test run of some QBN t-shirts and if I can flog them off for $300 each I might just break even..
The ads don't really bother me, so long as they're simple text. But I probably wouldn't click them either.
In a world without walls and doors, who needs Windows and Gates?

Yeah you can sell them at the next QbasicnewsCon :lol:
Theres no need to worry about ANY ads appearing on qbasicnews.com, I've organised alternate ways of making my webhosting pay for itself(and it probably doesn't involve random redirections on the forum :rotfl: ).

Where and when is the next QBNews conference? Keep it in Amsterdam!
