FWIW; the mods have nothing to do with the ad policy on FT. Heck, we have to pay the $12 just like anyone else to get rid of the ads
I've seen my fair share of annoying ads on the web, and especially on a site I spend a lot of time on I'll be willing to pay a small fee to get rid of them, even though I have a perfectly effective ad killer running.
