The ads are annoying but it puts money in the pocket of the BYOND guys without you really doing anything. They did also fix a lot of bugs recently, the lead Tom has decided to give up on trying to grow BYOND as a business and go back to tinkering with the code. Their plan is to support themselves on donations and ads and they've actually been active on their forums lately.
After talking to Tom in a thread over there some of us donated some cash and started running the new client. He's a decent guy. I don't mind ignoring a stupid flash ad for 15 seconds here and there if it keeps BYOND going. For all the troubles with the platform SS13 wouldn't exist without it.
