It's not like pixeldrain has been hacked or anything. I have been serving ads for this company for almost a year. It's just that they decided to serve full screen ads all of a sudden without consulting me.

I have removed them completely for now. I'll just be operating at a loss until I find an alternative ;-(

Ah, okay, sorry. I didn't see that piece of javascript on any other user-created pixeldrain pages, and it isn't involved in the ad at the bottom/center of the page. So, it did seem out of place to me. I can't even tell where it would place an ad.

No problem. I base the ads I show on the size of the file that's being downloaded. Larger files cost more bandwidth so they get more intrusive ads. But I don't want the ads to be so intrusive that they drive users away of course.

Normally these ads would show up as little floating windows in the bottom right corner.
