Yeah, that closure was completely uncommented and mysterious. A later comment linked to a bug saying that the ad had been disabled, presumably because it was showing up where it shouldn't? WORKSFORME doesn't seem like the right resolution for that.

The two bugs were also closed as duplicates of each other, which feels a little sloppy.
