Between New Balance, K-Swiss, and Nike, I don't think anyone can say for certain.

I hope, for tribro's sake, that he gets more money depending on how much bandwidth the ads take.

yeah.. much slower. waiting for those to load is more anoying than looking at them. i'd be happy to subscribe for a fee to have no ads and an iphone hook :-) i hope tribro is reading this thread.

I tried to put in a block through Google for the NewBalance ads. i have noticed a bit slower on my safari browser. The K-Swiss seemed o.k. Hopefully they will filter out soon and things will speed up.

It seemed much worse yesterday when I posted it. It would load the ad but nothing else would load. If I reloaded the page, I might get another ad which then would render the content. It doesn't seem like this is happening today.

i'm at work so everything is fast. i suppose it is a balance between the site working and tri bro getting some bucks for his effort. at the moment i'm supporting more bucks for tri bro.

Tribro-

Things seem to be loading faster; thanks for addressing.

Also- appropriate time to say thanks for the site/community. I have no problem with the ads supporting you and what you do. They aren't oppressive and that is appreciated.

Cheers,

Kevin

I don't see any new balance ads.
I see very few ads.

The site has to make money right? :D
