Change has come to macosxhints.com...

If anything, this decision will serve the audience better, as more resources can be directed to site content creation.

Everyone should be able to understand that maintaining a site with 6055 MacOS X hints is not free (as in free beer). The site is a valuable resource, and I for one welcome our new commercial overlords, provided that the ads are laid out and placed tastefully.

Go Rob.

A couple of example of sites that don't have tastefully placed ads are Mac OS Rumors, (whats the point of having a meta refresh? it causes me to lose my palce when reading it!) and The Mac Night Owl (having to page down twice just to get to the content is ridiculous!)

some sites that have tasteful ad placement include slashdot, macslash, and Apple Insider.

Interestingly, The Register, while somewhat heavy on the ads, has a few pages and articles that have a separate color scheme, that goes with the overall sponsor of that page.

Finally, on the vomit inducing front, C|Net's entire site looks like one big banner ad. (did i mention i hate C|Net?) Please avoid that route!

macslash has turned to the tasteless side of things. [rant]
