While I've been happy to run the site out-of-pocket for nearly two years now, its growth in popularity introduces a need for the site to support itself financially. I've begun experimenting with advertisements on the site. As a casual policy:

• No braindump ads (I've tried my best to filter)
• A max of one ad per page
• No ads on community-contributed pages (forum, wiki)
• No ads on the lab (except for sponsors)

I'd also like to restrict Flash-based ads, if I could figure out how...

At any rate, the ads are in place at the time of this posting. Please let me know any issues encounter or thoughts you'd like to share. Thanks.

I think it's normal stretch,

don't worry about using advertisements, your works on packetlife are remarkable, so, if the content stay the same, a little ads banner on a page doesn't bother us!
