well, I am greatly disappointed in the way this site has degraded. Gator is nothing but pure spyware.....I might stop visiting here because of it....

I don't get any, and I almost live here. Even so, it sure would take a lot more than a few cookies to keep me away!

You get cookies from hundreds of ad banners, look through them.

The ads for this site are contracted through an ad company afaik, they control what ads make it and what don't.

If you stop going to sites based on ad banner cookies you're gonna soon be reading nothing but .gov, .edu, and Unix how-to pages, might get kinda boring .

I browse all sorts of sites on a regular basis. none of them have gator banners.
it's not that I would actually stop coming here, I've been visiting since '99....I would just be greatly disappointed to find that this site has gator ads....most members know enough about gator to discourage having anything to do with it....
