    Hello All,

    Recently, the staff of Harpoon Gaming came to a decision. Our goal has always been to provide the best experience for users and we believe that advertisements run in opposition to that goal.

    That's why we don't use them on the server, and never will. However, we do use them on this site, well until today.

    Moving forward, HG's sites will not contain advertising from companies, we may continue to run banner ads in support of sites like SR, and other communities, but we will no longer serve banner ads from corporations.

    We care about our users and believe a better experience is more important than a quick buck.

    Thanks,
    Joe

    Its a big change, but I am glad. It will make Harpoon a bit more user friendly to many, as ads wont distract them from the main site
