On one of the webmaster forums I visit I found out that http://www.fastclick.com no longer accept sites based on PHPnuke:
Matt Oettinger the Media Account Manager at fastclick said "We are no longer accepting sites designed with PHP Nuke" as they have "found that many Nuke sites do not perform at our desired levels"
Seems a little strange to me to tarnish all us nukers with a single brush.
As this is one of the larger companies out there. Does anyone else have any opinions?

Hello,
I am a member of fastclick, perhaps they recently stop it because I've been a member for over a year now.

Yeh, I have a few nuke sites with Fastclick too but it seems unless your already in you won't get accepted.. I tried to submit a new site and got turned down and this was the reason apparently.

It's their choice.. its a free market. Then can choose the terms of who to deal with.
Unfortunately, it seems that Nuke sites make it easier to be lazy. Users that don't want to keep on top of their own site and keep up with patches and so forth. And being the most popular, it is more likely to be targetted for abuse.
In case anyone's curious, this policy has since been revisited and they are now, at least by my experience, accepting Nuke sites. I did have a chat with an account executive and she said the concerns were also that there can be a lot of user generated content, which if left unmoderated, can wind up with ads showing on pages the advertisers wouldn't like.
Also with the comments, polling and other navigation intensive features built in, you're going to show WAY more ads than your counterpart who only has static content... doesn't mean it's more valuable to the advertiser.
