    Are these ads a new feature, or is my computer screwed up?

    Look at it this way MichaelN, he is a member with 10 posts in 6 years, I dont think he contributes much to the forum... So his lose to the forum, would be um...unnoticed?

    Being on a dial up, I can't see much of anything anymore w/o waiting 15 min's for all the new shit to load. Guess I'll have to find a new home, but it was fun while it lasted.

    I was in the computer lab on campus between classes, and was like "...........shit, if rabid porn appears all over my screen, this is going to become very awkward." Please make it stop.

    (Edit: no this does not mean rabid oddball porno websites spammed my computer due to this occurrence on this forum.)

    If you're using Firefox, try a free add-on called Adblocker Plus. I also had to disable Java. Seems to be working so far. I tried setting IE's popup blocker to it's highest setting but some of the ads still came through. I don't believe that Frank's doing this for profit. This shit will only drive people away from this site.
     
    Re: What the....?

    I'm using firefox with the Ad Block Plus add-on. It does a damn fine job of blocking most of this crap. All I get in the posts is a hot link that reads "pay per click advertising". Being a skeptic caused me to check where a link will take me before I click it, Bidvertising.
    I opened up Microsofts IE to see what it looks like without all my ad blocking defenses and OM-EFFING-G! What a train wreck. Took forever to load a single ad-laden page and it's super distracting. It's like trying to focus on the meat of a short post with a bunch of Las Vegas style neon flashing at me.

    If you're on dial up I sincerely pity you. I suggest downloading firefox, adding ABP and enjoy the site again.

    YES!!! Beat me to it!
    NoScript Java blocker is another awesome add-on for firefox.
    Good post!

    Google chrome users, search google chrome adblocker, install it. It takes off ALL the ads, you still see the one after the first post but its a blank box, and another blank box in the upper left hand corner, and thats it for ads.

    Re: What the....?

    Glad the sites back up and running. Also noticed the thread accusing LL of doing this for profit has disappeared. I'm surprised the person making the accusation hasn't disappeared as well...
