Whya re there ads on the forum now? It makes it look stupid. If they stay, im making a new template so its not so ugly.

It would look better on the bottom, just above the copyright stuff.

Errr ... I like money? Tbbbbbth!

I more was interested in how well the Google ads would target each page that they're on. The ad code is supposed to scan the text of each page and display ads relevant to that page. They seem to work fairly well, I figured I might as well leave 'em on the pages. Happy

Too bad you can't modify the code a little to target Retro gaming in general or perhaps even retro DOS gaming more specifically Shit-Eating Grin

I'm glad Google made the effort, but I doubt if I really need candle-shades... Sarcastic

Oh well, the ads don't bother me, just as long as you don't put in pop-ups.

Yeah if anyone figures out how it's getting the "hair growth products" targeting I'd love to hear it ... Shocked

heh, after you mentioned that you "like money" the ad for this post changed to a charity site... this may turn out to be quite a bit of fun, actually.
