      <title>Disqualified by advertising</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I was enthousiastic about &lt;a href="http://www.noobkit.com/"&gt;noobkit&lt;/a&gt; for about a week.  Finally an alternative to the rough style of Ruby&amp;#8217;s standard &lt;span class="caps"&gt;API&lt;/span&gt; documentation.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Until I actually wanted to use it.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Most pages have a full width block of Google ads above the main content. This is just too much. For some methods, the text is one line. The ad block then is five times as big.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ll go back to using &lt;a href="http://api.rubyonrails.org/"&gt;the old version&lt;/a&gt;, thanks.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;[Also, the search function is not geared towards &lt;span class="caps"&gt;API&lt;/span&gt; documentation, but instead uses a generic Google-like method. Why not highlight the search results that actually describe the method or methods with the searched name?]&lt;/p&gt;</description>
