But I probably won't.

I doubt you have the technical knowledge to write such a script. See if Ender can help you.

Even if they do, I'm willing to bet that Justin is still probably trying to get reapproved with AdSense. I guess that could change if Lijit proves to be just as successful.

I'm still trying to get adsense back so that's irrelevant.

Actually, I think you're lying. I think that you are actually gay, actually. And you actually hate staring about boobs.

If some of this "Internet privacy" legislation goes into effect, you might see a nasty hit to your clicks, since contextual ad display is usually based on two variables: page content on which it is being displayed and tracked user browsing history.

I click on them from time to time. Really no reason not to and it helps support the site.

I actually do from time to time. Curious to see who is advertising, their landing page, etc.

I honestly don't understand why someone would do this at all. I admit I am completely out of touch with regards to this.

Well, for one, the ad might interest them? Also, it helps support the site. Mind blowing, right?

I think he means why would companies bother advertising? No one actually buys something from an ad; no one.

If advertising didn't work companies wouldn't do it.

I remember when the site first started ads were suggested by others and people even said they'd have 'no problem' clicking the ads every now and then to support the site. Guess some of the/us old FreeHuddlers still do that. (Shame on us OG Oc'ers)

?????

What I don't understand is the desire to investigate products and services when coming to a chat forum. Keep in mind I concede that I am definitely out of touch in this area.
