A lot of the codebase is being edited for the first time in a long time, including ads.
There was a lot of securing to do after the last breach wiped out thousands of topics, and some of the backend needs to be modified to implement activitypub so the tinychan link will work properly.
Someone updated the ad script in the middle of it all, since everything is getting revamped anyway.

lol, a few people complained they were stale and links were broken so we added a few new ones. @1,250,643 (D)
Nah, we've never had any "real" ads and never will. Unless you count the PrivateInternetAccess VPN affiliate link r04r once had as one of the 'ads' (and on the ban page), but I removed that a long time back. I think she made like $25 from that in total. I never really understood why you'd actively promote ways to ban evade.
