I think I'm on the same wavelength as Laura (maybe it's because I lived in Boulder once upon a time). +1 to what she's saying.<br><br>And some additional specifics:<br><br>I'd be really teed off if I had to burn bandwidth and download time to see ads when I'm trying to get the latest news, find a handbook page, check issue queues, etc. on
<a href="http://drupal.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">drupal.org</a>. <br><br>When I'm trying to get something done, waiting for advertising to download, or being forced to click or scroll to see the rest of my content because ads are taking up page real estate are among the most annoying aspects of the Internet that I can think of. There's a reason I use aggressive ad blocking and filtering proxies on my browser -- I hate that crap!
<br><br><br>So, my final advice on advertising on d.o properties is: tread very carefully when deciding, and don't piss off more than a tiny minority, or it will be a regrettable decision.</blockquote><div><br>Great feedback. Performance wasn't something that had been brought up so far. To re-emphasize, useful ads in relevant sections of
<a href="http://Drupal.org">Drupal.org</a>, would mean that ads wouldn't be widespread.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Kieran<br><br><br> <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
