Bleh -- 6:03 pm CST, Update by The Master

Ya know, I'm getting sick of the banner ads I see on Blues and the Shack. These are being served from a "decent" provider (UGO), and yet, it seems like damn near every one of them has a half-naked woman on them, even if that has NOTHING to do with their content. I saw a good one on UGO Underground today that basically dripped sex, and was the front for an article on a new NVIDIA graphics board. Come ON people, is sex the ONLY thing that sells anymore? Heck, back in the day a good car chase did the job :-)

Oh, and spammers must die too. Thank you.

A.T. Hun comments: UGO is one of the most notorious advertising offenders. In that respect, I'm glad that we can run The Haus sans ads because I'm not sure I could find a network that would a) pay us (see Lowtax' problems on Something Awful), or b) have ads that wouldn't make me want to tear my eyes out. There needs to be a new revenue model for web advertising or the whole thing's going to go down the proverbial toilet.
