There was more text on the page before, including a code example that
wasn't very illustrative.
Most other front pages are still more varied and dynamic.
What happened with the ideas to have the latest commits / newsgroup topics
/ etc. in a box on the front page?
Regarding ads, this is my "I told you" moment. I am completely opposed
to ads anywhere on d-p-l.org, and I believe their presence hurts us in
ways that the cost savings doesn't even begin to cover. I see it as a
textbook case of "penny wise". That being said, Walter agreed with
removing ads from the homepage but not the other parts of the site. I
didn't get to that yet.
There's also a moral issue here. Except for the articles he's written,
Walter is basically monetizing the work of everyone who's contributed to
D. If it were just a matter of hosting, I'm sure there are many from our
community who would gladly provide it.
