Site change?

Hey Dan, whats with the ads being inserted into posts as links?

Thanks,
J

Yes, we are now delivering keyword advertising. Certain keywords in posts, articles, and news content are highlighted and display "tool tip" type pop ups with adverts/links to advertisers. This is a relatively new form of advertising and is something we are trying in an attempt to generate further revenue to support the site.

Well, personally, I don't like it. I've seen it on other Mustang sites, and IMHO it makes it more difficult to read the posts, and gives the site a "overcommercialized" look. Kinda like being spammed while trying to read.

I understand that there have to be some unholy costs to keep this site up, and I have been here both lurking and registered since roughly 98. I'd be more than happy to make a donation if it could help keep my "home on the web" from turning into a spamfest. I might be alone on this, but then again, I might not.
Just my .02

Well, all I am going to say right now is that the future will be bringing our members further options on how to view the site.
