I don't mind ads if they're Amiga related. Where else can Amiga companies advertise these days other than Amiga forums? I'm glad I won't have to see any non-related ads anymore though.
Hopefully, if and when Bill decides to bring back the advertisements, he'll go with Google Ads.
Because of a couple of buttheads who are no longer on the site, I lost the ability to use Google Ads long, long ago, and the Yahoo ads that were running could not be targeted towards the Amiga, because I was literally too successful at targeting them on other sites.
For example, starting two weeks before Valentine's day, I ran ads for chocolates, candies and flowers on my Days Of Our Lives site (filled with housewives). What that meant was that for two weeks, I was getting about $50/day off of that one site, which triggered Yahoo's "fail" button and they took away the ability to target ads from my whole account.
Sucks, but at least they didn't completely remove me from the program which would have literally ended Amiga.org years ago.
