I'll admit I don't drop in much any more (here, or there), but I was gabberflasted to see a banner ad for GT when I got here. Is that something from the host, or is there some kind of reconciliation under way?

I think the ads come from the host as they're often strangely relevent to things people have posted Good to see again though LATS

The ads are based on what the forum is about, and GT is spamming up any site that is remotely involved with guitar. It's a free forum that makes it's money off of ad support, so what do you expect. It's not up to me, unfortunately. Absolutely no reconciliation at all.

I'm in the dark here on what's going on with the other forum. Too many people? Too much spam?

Really? I didn't even know there were banner ads here...I got the add-on Adblock Plus for my Firefox browser, so most of that stuff I don't ever see, anywhere.
Edit: I just turned it off real quick and sure enough, there it is. That sucks.

I noticed that a while ago. Maybe we should contact GT and ask about having an ad for this place on there.

It looks to me like GT bought some advertising from Google who is in turn supplying the ads here.
I don't think they have any direct say in where Google puts that ad.

I've been seeing adds for GT other places on the web too. I don't ever go by there anymore. It seems nobody is even watching the place. No harsh feelings towards them, just not what it once was.

No harsh feelings towards them... Yeah, and when I said "that sucks" above, I only meant seeing a banner ad in general, regardless of who it is. I love adblock.

yeah, I've noticed that he's all over the place on some of the guitar tab sites I frequent. Immediately puts me in a fowl mood.
