They're a little obnoxious. I especially don't like having some dumb ad for mobile ringtones or something right next to my work because I hate that kind of stuff and having them just on the simfile pages makes it seem a bit tacky.

You gotta do what you gotta do to pay the bills, I guess, but I'd have preferred seeing advertising somewhere other than right next to the files produced by people who give up their time to contribute to the site.

Anyway, I voted that I can tolerate them, because I can. But I don't like them.

edit: I think in reflection, it really depends on why the site hosts simfiles in the first place. Is it to attract more visitors to the site, or is it more of a public service to allow people to host their files? Who's doing who the service here?
