Or to put it a bit differently: how much Entmoot bears should I ask for my birthday to help out?

I even get ads in Norwegian. I don't mind, not up there at the top of the page ...
I should perhaps check out that shop page, though.

Hehe me too, lots of Norwegian ads. I've become immune to internet ads though. I think I've never clicked on one, and because one of Norway's largest online newspapers, Aftenposten, has a litter of ads all over its website I've become so used to them that I never notice them any longer..
It's interesting to think about though.. the millions of ads that we are bombarded with through our lives. It must affect the human brain somehow. It's also unprecedented in human history, that many signals, symbols and messages sent to the human brain in the course of a year.. compared to how things were only 10 years ago. Complete madness!

Our brain's immediate reaction to the information overload is confusion, and then it reacts by shutting out all that information. What the long-terms effects are, we do not know. Perhaps we will notice a make of a product in a shop because we've seen the name of that make before, if only in an internet ad that we don't even remember seeing.

*Bump*
Does clicking on the ads generate any extra money for the site? And I never got an answer to whether the ads are enough to cover all the costs of running the site. Do they? Or just partly?

Darned if I know. I think only Ben knows that and he comes and goes.
Maybe we should get him a bat-signal.

Oh, he can do without that. I'm sure his Shelob-ish spider-sense is tingling him back here in no time
