I like the christian treatment center ads that run on the side.
haha yeah....I could actually use some pointers on how to better handle adsense in this respect. is it possible to require approval for any ad shown? is it possible in an automated way?

before we got kicked off adbrite (for our content, or something), it was possible to do this, but it was very tedious...

I think you can only stop others from serving but looks tedious.
And, like the FMyLife/VieDeMerde kind of sites, I imagine you could easily spun it off to other subjects if some come to mind.
I'm curious: How much time per week does it take to maintain + edit the site?
i haven't touched the site in at least a month. Sure, there are bugs, sometimes registration fails, but for the most part it's completely hands-off.
I just gave that a quick look -- where does the money come from? Ad sales? Something else?
yeah, adsense and direct advertisers. i sell stickers, too, but that hardly generates any revenue
