It's a thankless task being Fodors
 

All that complaining about the ads on the side and I don't believe there is one comment about them being gone. Must have gotten used to them, eh?

Gone? Not mine.

I have the flashing ads on the right here also.

no ads for me...at all. :-)

So why did mine vanish? I didn't do anything different.

They ar still here but at least they are about travel;-)

I've got ads on the right (and the top, for that matter) but they are less obnoxious than they used to be.
Thank you, fodors!

(On the other hand, we all seem to have adjusted to the new logo and color scheme.)

I've still got them, too.

If only &quot;all that complaining&quot; resulted in <i>things</i> being <b>gone</b> here on Fodors~

Well hello, Darlin' Scarlett! There's a lovely surprise coming your way. Watch your mailbox.

Happy Mother's Day to you.

Hmm, I have an ad to the right but it's not flashing and I only have the ad at the top when I post a reply. Not that I was complaining or anything. Just thought I'd join the survey.

It only Hertz when I log on.

Thanks for reminding me. I am using Mozilla Firefox browser, and I have activated Adblock. It is a simple matter for me to eliminate the ads, and I just did.

Hi Scumpy! Nice to see you back!

Which mailbox?
How big is it?
Is there Chocolate involved?
Or does it sparkle?
Can't wait!!

The ads are still here as some,,,, :)

I've got an ad for iFodors pda travel guide on mine right now. :|

Personally I just assume the ads are the price I pay for using the forum. I would rather deal with a few ads then pay a fee!

Folks seem to think that the Internet is free, but someone has to pay the bill.

I actually wouldn't mind a small registration fee, as it could potentially keep some troublemakers off the board (plus, I'd pay $5-10 a year to get rid of the annoying ads).
