I've been a member since before payment was required and no ads here. I tend to be oblivious to these things, but i don't remember there ever being any either.

Thank you all. I'm enjoying the AOL barbs ;-) Wonder if they are tracking my IP? Anyhow, I did subscribe before they decided to start charging fees. Maybe that is why they are targeting me!

I shot off an e-mail to our famous webmistress about the ads. I'm sure eventually they will roll out full bore. I guess I'm one of the lucky beta testers...

I see banners too and am NOT an AOL member.

I've been with SI since 8/96 and don't pay fees... maybe that's why I get the banners.

At any rate, if AOL bought SI and made it an AOL-exclusive area I would leave right away. I bet the Yahoo message boards would pick up quite a few of us.
