Well, I don't know all of the original considerations, but wikidot has provided a good service, I think. We're on the free plan[1] where we get no control of the ads. We could host our own, I guess. I'm not sure why we didn't, but I suspect it's partially because nobody wanted to tend one of the wiki packages which see a fairly constant update requirement. I don't have much against the ads from wikidot myself as they need to make money and they're giving us a free service. (I barely notice ads on pages these days unless they're big, singing, dancing, spinning and bouncing.) Does an adblock plugin squash this?
