Craftsman Adds
Hey all,
This comment is directed specifically at the people who run instructables.com.
I really enjoy the site and I spend countless hours browsing through the projects. I recently noticed that the website is starting to have craftsman adds all over it. I understand that sponsorship is great to keep the site up and running, but please dont let the adds bloat the site. Its really irritating to log into the site and have a little animation of a palm sander running around on the screen. Keep the adds if you must, but please dont bloat and commercialize our great little site.
Thanks,
C.Y.

Please see Eric Wilhelm's announcement on this subject. Apparently Craftsman is dumping a load o' money into I'bles as sponsorship (and you must realize that it takes a lot of money to run this not so little site).
There has been a lot of discussion in that thread about the structure of these ads. We're hoping that they can be toned down, but presumably such negotiation will take some time.
Meanwhile, you may choose to use AdBlock or some similar software (realizing that non-display of ads will reduce I'bles revenue).

>use AdBlock on ibles How can you SAY such a thing?!
With my fingers and a keyboard: first I press "u" with my right index finger, then "s" with my left ring finger, "e" with my left middle f-inger, spacebar with my thumb, ....well, you get the idea :-)
Mocking? Never! I would never monkmock you :-) I just hadn't had any coffee yet, and my literalism circuit was overacting...
Besides, what's a good discussion thread without some non sequiturs?

Haha, I can relate, my Shakespeare circuit was overacting... :D

I came this close to biting my thumb at you, sir! But who needs another Mercutio, anyway? ...Wait a sec, my dog....Spot? Spot! That damned Spot got out, out, again!
Something is rotten in the State of Ibles...But the fault, dear Kelsey, is not in our stars.
