This has annoyed me for a while (but it's harder to get NOTs than HOTs because I tend to instinctively click on so fast). I really don't understand how Traffic Roundup could possibly be celebrating their 5th birthday now, given the copyright notice at the bottom of the page (Copyright (c) 2006). Either their 5th birthday was in 2006 and they're still keeping this outdated splash up, or they started in 2006 and the 5th birthday isn't until 2011 (and I haven't been active in the TE community long enough to know one way or the other, but I assume the former is the correct assumption)
In all due fairness, I'm going to assume this is a really well converting splash which would explain why it's up, but still, I have a bone with such an obviously outdated ad - personally, it turns me off of the exchange because it subconciously associates them with "liar" in my head, regardless of their intentions. (NOTE, I'm not out to call the TE owner - or anyone else - a liar. I'm just stating what initially went through my head the first time I saw this splash...)
Seen first today at Traffic Era

Hey Issac.. I just discovered your blog today which is why this is a bit after the fact, but Traffic Roundup is indeed 5 years old.. and no I can't explain the 2006 error.. I assume that maybe they used an existing template and didn't change the date...
but it's an interesting call on your part... shows us that there really is a reason to pay attention to the details which are sometimes overlooked.
