2. Yeah, yikes.

Some in here, though, too. Skinner said they were playing with Ad placement - that's one place I really, really don't like them!

3. There's a bug somewhere in the system...

We aren't supposed to see them when we are logged in, and also I saw one overlap a post, making it impossible to see all of it.

7. It doesn't seem to be consistant...

You'll see it on the right side of some OPs.

8. If you have them turned off, they shoudln't show up.

It's part of DU's new revenue plan. They lost a bunch of money when google modified their adsense program, so they were forced to increase ad space and quantity. It sucks, but it helps keep the place afloat.

10. They appear to be showing up randomly...

I have Google ads turned off, and I don't see them on the main pages, but in some threads, they pop up occasionally. Looks like a bug.

9. Um, there was a couple on your post too.

Just sayin'.
