Hello,
You have never been forced to use ads on our free hosting.
We did have an option where you voluntarily could place ads and get a hosting package that was a little better then the ad-free option did come with. That option is not available anymore.
Yes, advertisement is voluntary on the free hosting we have, like it always has been, only difference is that now you can't "buy" extra benefits by placing ads. What you remember is most likely one of the ad-enhanced plans that, once you requested it, required you to place our ads on your pages.Thanks, I must have forgotten that I used to have a free plan here that needed ads... Did recalled that there is an ad-free plan...
Anyway, can I take it that placing of advertisements is now voluntary?
Yup, you can get rid of them if you want

While we do not offer that option anymore, those that were around when it was offered and opted for an ad-enhanced account, still needs to follow the guides of that plan.
Technically, if you have one of the old ad-enhanced plans, you probably still need to have the ads up, will have to confirm that though.
