For my 5c, and as a web developer and recent Postgresql convert. ;-) People go to websites for the content and information available. If the Postgresql environment and community can improve its ability to come across to a wider audience by improving its main website and making their point clearer and information easier to access, then I think the "visibility" of advertisements is a small price to pay. I think it's a marked over the previous iteration. It appears well ordered, its pleasent to the eye, and the advertisements are subtle than intrusive. Well done people. Hadley.
