    New affiliates segment added to the sidebar. Let me know if it's too much.

    EDIT: Removed it, decided it wasn't a good idea.

    Added new side ads to try and increase revenue. Let me know if they're too much.
    Don't worry, donors, I'm working on it so you won't see them soon.

    Thinned both side container ads because a lot of people thought they were too wide.

    Removed the leftmost ad because it didn't look good or feel right.

    Changed scrolling ads to non-scrolling, so they're less distracting.

    Removed all the new ads until I can figure out how to make them adjustable with small screens.

    Changed the top and bottom ads to text-only to help comply with AdBlock Plus whitelisting policies.

    Added a new small text advertisement to the top of the Sidebar.
    Changed the middle sidebar advertisement into a static affiliate link to Amazon Prime. May change it later.

    The ads are eerily good at targeting us. There is one for mold removal on a page discussing spore infected victims. D:

    After having the website professionally reviewed, I feel comfortable enough to re-enable ads.
    The option to disable them can be found in your account preferences if you wish to not support the website or find them intrusive.
    Everyone who had them enabled before this switch will receive a special badge, once it's made. (Never have enough artwork for this stuff!)
    Thank you for your support.

    Note: There may be an issue with toggling ads. If it doesn't work for you, please talk to me.
    I won't judge you if you don't like ads, don't worry. They're optional for a reason.

    It worked for me, actually.
