No more ads

After playing host to a rotating army of Google Adwords advertisements for several years, I've finally pulled the plug.  The reason is simple enough; they cluttered the interface, and more importantly, they never generated any revenue for the site.

Don't worry, GMPIV.Com isn't going away anytime soon.  At least, not unless I do, in the more permanent sense.  

Having a website running continuously for fifteen years is pretty cool.  Actually *maintaining* a site for so long is uncharacteristic.  I wonder what it will be like in another 20 years, when the people who really got into the Internet during the first boom are retiring.  As a percentage of the population it must be fairly low.  Perhaps something similar to the number of people who actually clicked on the ads.
