What would be nice, would be if TLC picked up the banner ads for the catalog
and instruction scans. After all, those items are TLC's original IP and there
would be no issue of 'appropriateness'. In fact, seeing banner ads for things
like the SC or the Blacksmith Shop would be cool while looking at older
instruction scans.
Support for the gallery would be a different matter.

My earthlink account has a limit on how many MBs I can have in the web space,
but I've never seen mention of a bandwith limit (although I'm sure there must be
one lurking somewhere). Most of my images are 3K-6K and are in support of my
BrickLink shop. I doubt that I will hit the bar on those images.
