You'd get server small, inobtrusive ads for FOSS projects and products. Ads needed to be pre-approved by the site owners before they'd appear in the network. The same idea as "The Deck", but targeted at FOSS instead of webdesigners. A small, but highly targeted (thus high-margin) ad network. It was the only ad network whitelisted in my adblocker. Too bad they didn't make it.
