It took me a long time to read all my mail tonight. :) First off, the ads are currently disabled since there is so much concern. One of the intentions of putting up the ads is that they are job postings. They map 1:1 with real jobs that members of the UUG (many of whom are in college and looking for future jobs) may be interested in applying for. Please note that I talked with our CS department sponsor before even considering putting up the job postings on the site. He looked in to the possibility of putting them up and told me it was ok to do so. It took several months before anything appeared. We have the ability to select what types of jobs appear. If people are extremely against showing a job for a java programmer, it's possible to not list "java" jobs. The hosting company is relatively new and is still making connections with potential employers. As they continue to develop, we'll have more control over appearance of job postings for better integration to the UUG site. I'm not certain, but it may be possible to use plain html in place of flash. The club has not collected any money, and we still need to determine if we even want to do that. Something to consider is directly donating any generated revenue to an organization of our choice. Why not donate to the FSF as another way of showing our support for free software?
