Yep, nine now. Had to block another; this time from The Sun.
Classy sponsors, Forbes.

You wouldn't be able to post without registering another username. I'd do my best to piss you off at every instance I find you on the site

. Since you care little about our costs I don't really care about you using this place.

So if I took my block off for this site, then it'd be all fine, then?

I like the idea of prefixes. Only problem I see is that it can't replace the lists of formats after titles in the Gaming forum (except when a game is only being released for one platform obviously).

Am I right in thinking that SA have a similar system? Seems to work well there.

Graphical images are used rather than text, and if you click the graphic for, say, photos, it'll refresh the page with only the photo threads showing.

Seems a bit redundant to me, but what the hell, I just won't use them. Each to their own.

When you block adverts the revenue lost is passed on to other AN Members by increasing the Sponsorship fee, decreasing service or by adding more adverts - all of which equate to other AN Members paying for your site usage.

So basically have some tact and don't tell everyone that you're doing it ffs.

But how could I tell you took the blocks off...I guess I'll just have to ban you to be sure

.

It's not like I'm going to do that though.

See the thing is we have more adverts now because less people see the adverts due to blocking etc so needs more adverts to cover costs, vicious circle. Still I'm going to remove a few in the next couple of days by doubling up things like the AN ones and the shop ones.

Yeah it's minor down side for games but it's a quick tag and then add the extra formats in, we'll then re-introduce the top headers.

We might do this.

You won't have a choice when I turn on "must have prefix".

Shouldn't be a problem.

But being a selfish wee dick means I come out on top. Read some Rand.

So I win then?
