No, those banner ads aren't some spyware that's snuck onto your browser. Sleuth has joined a banner exchange program in order to drum up some more traffic. We've been stuck at a fairly contant number of players for awhile now, and would like the community to expand.
Leave any complaints or comments you have about them here. In particular, I want to know whether anybody is having page layout problems because of them.
I'm still getting used to them myself.

They were getting to me, so I changed them to only show up for non-subscribers. Another selling point, I suppose.

Ok, I was confused.
(I didn't have any banners.)
Now I see they are just for non-subs.

Ok, I checked them out on a non-sub.
Ben, you need to make that "Turn Banner Ads Off" BIGGER!

And heres me thinking my anti everything software was working. I have terrible problems with pop-ups, banners and virus'. I'll wait to see if they upset my two firewalls and three popup blockers.

For a banner ad, they really aren't that bad. It could be much worse. Thank you for asking.

Too bad you already took them away.
I guess are pro's and cons to it. Cons obviously visible and blinking a lot. :) Although I don't think no one would leave this site over a banner.
But would answer the question "Do you like the banner?" with an obvious no.
But I am sure there are now less visible pro's to it, like: site not running at a loss, Ben being paid for his time, Ben turning this as a full time job one day, hardware upgrades next time they are required, additions or other improvements etc.
I'd hate to turn down a banner if that was the case. For all your hard work Ben, I think you should be paid, and most definitely not run at a loss.
