 Xanga Ad Remove   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Xanga places advertisements on their "Classic sites to keep Xanga free", but I can't imagine Xanga being anything but free.
If Xanga were to switch to a pay site they would loose at least 90% of their users, and frankly, it would not good enough to cost money.
Xanga is more likely to loose more advertisement views from not being standards compliant rather than from ad removal scripts.

 xanga - Mashable!
Xanga’s demographic definitely skews young - as well as mentioning that most MySpace users are 35 or over, the recent ComScore report pointed out that a fifth of Xangans are aged 12-17.
And despite having options to block your Xanga from the search engines and turn off syndication feeds, Xanga still got hit by a $1 million child privacy fine for failing to verify the age of their users on signup (see Xanga fined).
Xanga’s mistake was that they didn’t check the birth date - a user whose birth date suggested they were a child would still be given an account if they ticked the box.

 Xanga fined $1 million under child privacy act | CNET News.com
The FTC said in a statement Thursday that Xanga, which has been in operation since 1999, had been letting people create accounts even if the dates of birth they entered indicated that they were under the age of 13.
In addition, the FTC alleged that Xanga's policies regarding children were not sufficiently clear on its site and that parents were not provided a means to access and control their children's information.
In response to the settlement, Xanga CEO John Hiler said in a statement that many of the 1.7 million "under 13" birth dates may have actually referred to pet birthdays, engagement dates and "born-again" dates for religious bloggers.

Xanga (ZANG-uh) is an Internet Web host that provides its users (community) with access to their own online diaries and journals (often called blogs).
If someone has a Web blog on Xanga, they are being referred to as "having a Xanga." Xanga services are most popular with youth and young adults.
Along with its popularity among younger people, Xanga has been mentioned in major news publications worldwide as many law enforcement agencies believe that many of the 91 percent of some 40 million users aged 13 to 29 are revealing too much personal information about themselves on Xanga journals.

 tabulas.com: roy: danger smells like clean socks
Xanga was one of the sites that could have been the next MySpace, but for whatever reason they never made that huge jump that MySpace was capable of pulling off.
I think after MySpace sold out, I think those Xanga guys finally woke up to what kind of gold mine they were sitting on.
Comment posted on April 24th, 2006 at 07:12 AM I enjoy the fact that when people stumble upon my journal, they tend to view all of tabulas as a more mature, untapped gem of the weblogging fad.

 SecuriTeam Blogs » Xanga Hit By Script Worm
Aside from the fact that such immature and badly-written messages as the one dropped by the worm would already stand out on most xanga blogs (that I care to read, anyway), the incessant reposting as the worm spread more than likely caused serious clogging.
Dependence on keyword blocking (in this case ‘javascript’; that in IE is rendered even with line breaks in the middle) is exactly left Xanga vulnerable to this attack.
Javascript is a versatile language that can find many ways around server side filters (notice none of the exploit code required double quotes, and that key terms such as script, javascript, and eval were broken up using various methods to avoid filters).

To publish their accounts in a public forum as the internet, and have total strangers, or in even some cases, stalkers or perverts read it is just shedding way too much information.
