/* Ads on pulsedmc.net (tried out first on the /oldwebsite/adwebsite copy).
 *
 * On wide screens the whole site is drawn as a column in the middle and the ads
 * get the space either side of it: a 160px skyscraper on big monitors and a
 * 120px one on medium screens, kept slim so the site gets most of the width. Parts of the site run edge to edge (the hero, the Minecraft
 * scene, the footer), so ads floating over a full-width page would cover them;
 * narrowing the page keeps everything clear. Screens without the room get a
 * banner above the footer instead. The ads are samples for PulsedMC's own products,
 * standing in for whatever an ad network would serve.
