Re: 'Download' ads on tortoise website

Since this comes up every few months, I will now comment on this. But
only this once.

Yes, there are ads on our website. Shocking, I know.

An open source project that uses ads? That's sacrilege!
And then those ads even try to make you buy stuff, want you to spend
your money or download something? That's outrageous!

Now let's get real:

TSVN is open source and uses ads on the website. That's not gonna change.

After you click on the download buttons you get redirected to the
sourceforge download page, which also shows multiple ads. In case you
haven't figured that out yet: sourceforge is a separate website, they
provide the servers to host our downloads for us. What that download
page looks like or what ads are shown there is not our business, it's
not our page, not our website.

The Ads on the TSVN website are marked as such - you should really
know by now how ads on the internet look like and know how to separate
them from normal content. If not you should maybe think of not using
the internet unsupervised.

TSVN uses AdSense to show ads. Google doesn't allow malware to be
distributed by its ads. So the worst you could 'get' is an
advertising toolbar which you can simply uninstall later, just in case
you forgot to check what exactly you're installing.

You already get TSVN for free, so stop complaining.
