Is it me or are the banner ads become more intrusive?

Well technically perhaps. Although most hosts offer unlimited bandwidth these days.

Usually this means that the website has about six months life left before the owner pulls the plug.

Shame. I would have gladly donated.

So you think Richard is turning a profit with these ads?

I doubt he makes much money off them. It may pay for hosting the site though.

They just seem to be getting larger, and more of them.

Hahah, that is pretty fun.

It's interesting sometimes to look at what they have in the ads. For example, there's one that says "Ellery Queen Show on DVD: Starring Jim Hutton as Ellery Queen. Complete Series Now on DVD!" and another that says "Speed Queen Washers: Find Speed Queen Washers For Sale, Shop For Great Deals On Appliances!"

Amusing.

I love the ads that say "Freddie Mercury".
