Sold out of ALtoids?
It’s still there.
It isn’t showing up for for me. I’m using netscape. All I see is “advertisement:” and then a big blank space where it used to be.
No ad here either. I see the same thing porcupine described. (Netscape 4.6.1.)
Of course, if people take care to notice whether the ad is there or not, then it’s pretty effective advertising, I suppose.
But I see no ad now (I.E.5) although yesterday I somehow ended up with the cinema listings for Chicago, plus links to Chicago Reader things, including Straight Dope. I suppose I must have clicked on that review ad by accident, although I could have sworn I was trying to click on a thread title. I hadn’t even known that the Chicago Reader as such HAD a site for me to get lost in.
I’ve seen ads intermittently as well, interspersed with tags that say “advertisement.” I’ll notify the Ad department at the Reader.
Might also be a browser issue, especially as it seems to be an issue in Netscape; we’ve had problems with vB and Netscape in the past.

FWI- The same thing is happening with IE 5.5. I don’t even have Netscape loaded and it’s been happening off and on for about a day now.
Hurry! Hurry! I want my toothless elf back! And my mysterious urge to mainline Altoids is dissipating, as well.
He’s back! I missed him all day yesterday! plus, I get the pompous ad about “writing deep” whatever that is.
