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

Thanks,

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.

Re: Site change?
 
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. ;)
