The admin is trying his hardest to keep this place going, ads are the way to do it. And what about the games? Country flags under the post count? The "Current Moods"? Just things all designed to make this place cooler for the people here. If you don't like moving your index finger an extra centimetre on your mouse's scroll wheel for the sake of keeping this place free to the public, then you are one lazy fuck and don't deserve a place like this. it's not like forums as cool as these grow on trees
