Mine says this:
Ads by Google Asperger's Syndrome Dyslexia Autism ADHD
It's in a bit of a weird place, too. I mean as Graphich designer I wouldn't have put it there.. It seperates half the user functions from the rest. |

I don't notice the google ads anymore as my firewall blocks them.

I think it has something to do with the fact that the forums mention social butterflies and social moths (which is really a joke but google must have no sense of humor...... |

The google ads in that spot are very intrusive, and I'd never click something like that anyways.

| I don't have money; I don't have a lot of material wants to fulfill even if I had loads of money. Ergo, I don't click on ads. |

Are you offering to replace the revenue stream from the click-throughs then? Something has to pay for the bandwidth.
And where did the paypal button go? Now, I've confused myself. |
