CC,
Valueclick are the company that produces the ads at the bottom of each page while we provide the ones at the top. The server has to go off site and pull them up after refering to where in the world you are logging in from. For example: When I log in through my French ISP I get French language ads.
As we bring a new administrator on line it should free Danny and I up enough to bring the bottom line ads in house, allow them to be very cheap and forum specific and ensure we never again get any of the noisy annoying ones.
