| Sometime between noon and now (17:11 mdt) it seems that we got invaded by Google tm. I for one am not amused. |

| It may be the cost of 'free' hosting? Maybe we have gotten enough traffic to warrant the attention. I don't care for it very much either, but it is easy enough to ignore. |

| If it was only the static google ads it would be easier to ignore, but I am getting local Australian crap on a beautiful flashing red text telling me I have won a chance to win a TV.. AAAARGH!   |

| All,
Every month I have to buy credits to keep advertisements off of the site. It just so happened to run out today sometime. I thought it was tomorrow that it was to start. So I bought credits to keep it off for the next 2 months. So sorry about that but sometimes I just forget when it is time for this and to buy more credits for additional storage for pictures in the Album. Hope it stops now. _________________ Ride safe, JeffR 2007 Silver Wing (30,000 miles) 2005 Majesty 400 (sold 12,500 miles) 2004 Reflex (sold 3,500 miles) Givi Windshield, top case, vista cruise, power commander, dr pulley sliders, air hawk seat pad, (J.

| I say let 'em advertise, if it doesn't interfere with the use of the forums. I can ignore ads quite efficiently.
How much do you pay? |
