(stump up donations from the LDraw community)

There are other, more important things for the LDraw community to be doing.
Stay focused and you'll get better results.

Then again, I'll probably just tune my filtering software and go back to my
ad-free bliss.  Yahoo's figured out a way around it though :-(

(what? discontinuing or at least deemphasising popups in favor of embedding
ads on the same page as content? I'd consider that a win for the power of
popup stopper et. al.)

If my filtering
out ads on Brickshelf's pages restricts the flow of money into Kevin's pocket
because the ads aren't loading when I view a page, I'll gladly donate
money to Brickshelf, more money than the missed ad exposure would have
generated.

Hmm... I use Popup Stopper myself, which does a dandy job of stopping all
"new window" adverts. But I was unaware of anything that would stop embedded
banner ads. Are you saying you use something that does that? I didn't think
that was technically possible without also losing all other images that are
sourced from locations different than the page being displayed
