Yeah, I noticed that the ads are there for me now too.
The forum used to have an option where I could choose who sees the ads. I made it so if you logged-in (members) you wouldn't see any ads. Now that option is gone. We all get stuck with 'em now.
And a while back I did sign-up for an affiliate program with UFC to put their banners on the Arena site. I just haven't bothered to look at the emails yet. hehehe One thing you can always count on with the Sho, I am the laziest person you'll ever meet!
