And to be honest, I put a lot of effort into non-profit work but also spend a LOT of time working. My point was not about the ads really, just that this place'll turn commercial and most probally loose its edge with someone using it as a cash cow.

While I'm sure we're all looking forward to the day when we can put up an "Ad Free" site and then just sit back and watch our bank balance increase as a result, I doubt that day will be coming anytime soon.

It seems to me that there are some people who still regard the blogosphere as insignificant, however Duncan has proved with the Blog Herald and with all his blogs that the potential of the blogosphere is limitless and that it only takes dedication, imagination and intellect, to make a go of it.

I was merely pointing out that this blog is going to be used as a cash cown now. Personally and this may not reflect your views but I think as a human it would, If I was selling a close project of mine, i'd EASILY choose between someone with passion, rather than someone who wants to line their pockets. Wouldn't the world be boring if everyone got along? Congrats though. Hey dude, its your blog.

To the others, thanks. As for more ads I'd think their may even be less, as somebody who knows the ad market will be able to better target ads and get a higher return for less ad spots, something I've never been particular good at, although the site is still making a healthy return, but compared to similar sites (traffic wise) it can and will do a whole lot better under new management To the first commenters, charming.

People need to start thinking of blogs as a small business. They are often hard to sell, and need lots of attention. If you have a larger company, with many outlets, you can centralize management and have managers, ie the blog network. Good luck with Jeremy and Darren developing B5 to its full potential.
