I'm trying to care, I really am. But I just can seem to bring myself to. Oh, hang on... Maybe.... Nope. Nothing. Go away.

My ad-free messageboard...


... appears to have acquired an ad:



Hmm...


For my $5 per month (ooohhh... big money!), activeboard's main page promises that the board will be "Advertising free for a professional look."


What do you think?  Should I give them a hard time for advertising their stuff on my ad-free board or forget about it, get a life and generally stop worrying?

Had you not pointed it out, I probably never would have noticed that... their advertising in that regard is less than effective, so you can feel smug about that for a little while.

I too selected all of them - therefore nullifying my own vote... I suck...


But Nate does indeed rock and I wonder whether his postion as Vice JDK is senior enough?

Yours does look smashing Bees - it seems a little slow on the loading front though - that normal?

Aye.  Tis nice, Heng.


My ad seems to have vanished again, now.  To be fair to activeboard, they've provided a nice cheap service that allows me to set up an easy to use, minimum work board.  It's done us proud for more than 2 years now!  Yay, Activeboard!
