[Wikia-l] Slippery slope?

[gil penchina]

And to add to this - danny did some cleanup on the page (frankly the  
word adverts has no meaning in the US anyway :-) and I hate the word  
"never" as the Internet changes so fast that no one knows what the  
future holds.

That said, there is no plan to sell popup ads.  I find them annoying  
and most browsers block them anyway...
:-)
