Default Advertisements gone insane

Seriously? I know we have a large number of people visit this site each day, but this is ridiculous. Im interested to know who actually reads these advertisements??? (there are so many of them now you are forced to view them). Im going to get a seizure!

I just glance over them mostly
Interesting to note the 7500 plus openings in 08 for pilots
Guess times are not so tough after all.

It's pretty bad when with all the advertisements, the size of the actual board is 1/2 of it's original size.

This was posted in the thread below this. These ads are what make this forum free, it was either this or pay to join. And like I said in the other thread, these ads aren't half as bad as the ones on Airliners.net

Have I lost my mind or did these ads just show up in the forums? I swear that I didn't see them two days ago.

They appeared late this afternoon. They're pretty distracting but maybe they become less distracting due to being the same all the time. It's way more ads than one would think are necessary to pay the bandwidth though. There's what, 10 on this page alone?
