Why the Ads? Seriously?

I know, I know... Ads are horrible. However, there are reasons people have ads on their sites. Our reasons very closely mirror the reasons of other publishers. We need to cover the cost of web hosting. That's the primary reason behind our decision to host advertisements on the website. We make sure that the ads that we show, are unobtrusive, don't play any sound, and don't interfere with getting access to the information you are here for in the first place. The irony of the situation is, that once we have more users, we can source better, and higher quality ads which more closely align with our views. We hope to continue to provide a very high-quality resource, and limit the hurdles in accessing it. -OB
