    Hello, Antares.

    If you haven't noticed by now, the ads are gone. This is because I was banned not too long ago from the Google AdSense program for invalid click activity detected on the site. Now, I know you want to support Antares but clicking on advertisements for the sole purpose of stimulating revenue isn't a good way to do it as now that revenue source has been completely shut off to me forever unless Google decides otherwise.

    So, for future reference, in the event that my AdSense account is re-instated - do not click ads just to click them. Only click an advertisement if you're genuinely interested in the product or service offered.

    That's it for this announcement, folks.

    Cheers,
    Kaz

    I'll bet it was that damned game-ad, where you navigate a WWII fighter and try to shoot down this other plane with the missiles. It was unbelievably hard, but after much trial and error, I succeeded. Must have visited their website a dozen times on accident. :(

    Try my new Perpetual Ad Revenue Device (Patent Pending).

    You put an ad for your product on your site and when people click on it it redirects them to your website (which they were already on). This generates $0.00, plus however much money you are earning as interest on your money in the bank, plus however much people donate.

    I have made tens of cents over the course of many years using my methods thanks to the generous tellers at the bank who give me the money I have been generating while people have been redirecting themselves to the website they were already on.

    It is a fun game. It's more fleshed out. That's the shit ad. Try it. It's free to play on steam. It's called War Thunder and it's a multiplayer-based competitive plane and tanks sim/game.

    If I remember anything from my application process there was an option to either have them on or off with a badge or something as for having it on.
