wmw999 2,534 #1 March 30, 2004 The HTML is there for the usually-linkable forum title ("Talk Back Gone skydiving. ~ sangiro ") and it's not in the pull-down list when you want to jump from forum to forum. Too much postwhoring? WendyThere is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

This will not impact them at all. Their ads will simply be displayed in more relevant forums and not get diluted by a bunch of displays in a forum talking about one irerelevant topic after the other.
