Here is the letter I received today as a former member of the commercial contextual advertising network ML-Context :
Dear participants,
due to the financial crisis, the ML-Context project will be suspended from December 1, 2008.
We strongly recommend that before December 1, 2008 you should remove the codes for calling banners from your websites.
The funds accumulated by you using the Ml-Context service will be paid in full.
Best regards, Medialend.ru administration

Medialand is part of the RBC group of companies, and there, as far as we know, large-scale reductions are taking place. So all this is not surprising. Although I personally did not manage to make at least some decent money in this network (ML-Context), it is still sad.
