I've got the Google ads turned off in my preferences, but I still get the banners.

1. Think you have to be a donor?

3. I turned mine off because they got me in trouble
But yeah. You have to be a donor to turn off DU's revenue stream.

7. Yes, I'm a donor but I left mine on, by turns amusing and creepy
It's a bit of an eye-opener when you see the ads the Google puts up on the basis of the threads you surf. I've seen secret service recruitment ads, fundie homeschooling kits, 100% hemp clothing and anti/pro-Bush stuff advertised.
