Yes PNGBill, there is an irony in this in that I spend more time on here than a lot of people yet I get the most ads!
But then again, I take the attitude its not about me, its about the community. I am a self-proclaimed martyr.
Actually, lots of things go on behind the scenes that I never talk about and people don't see. For example, just changing the ad settings required lots of fiddling and customisation of the code on here. It took me a whole day to get it working properly. The multiple ad locations combined with multiple filters had to be set up, let alone working out some decent policy on this. Then, fiddling with the vbulletin style code was very frustrating. Give me some nice vba code and its not a problem, but the proprietary vbulletin style code was very frustrating. There we no examples of code for this being done and the help I sought never quite gave me a working answer.
PNGBill, I notice you just tipped the 2,000 post mark recently. Congratulations and enjoy the lower ad count.
Does it help the page load faster or is it hard to say?
