Yep, thats what I own, it gets rid of all popup and banner adds.

Some people don't like him for his ermmm... religion. From what I've gathered, I think he's a Scientologist. I'm not gonna discuss it here, since I'm preeetttyy sure the monitors wouldn't be too happy. But just google his name, and you'll find out enough. I can't say whether Dohring is a good or bad guy, so I'm not gonna say anything bad or good about him.
i'm not gonna discuss it either, since it's news to me anyway...but, people don't like him because of his religion? wow that's sad that in today's world people can't be accepting of different beliefs.
tom cruise, john travolta, juliette lewis, and jenna elfman are scientologists, to name a few. should we not like them?
sorry i'm just not big on the prejudice thing. (not saying that you are)

vinylraven, I hope that's not the case either - not liking a person for their beliefs. I'd actually taken a few courses (years and years ago when I was in California) and found it very interesting. I can't think of why that would make someone distrust someone else.
For me, it's the idea of the higher-ups not paying attention to what's going on on the site itself - the reason there can be plushies, magazines, TCG, etc. Without the site and most importantly us, the players, none of that merchandise and $$ that comes from it all could exist.
Rune, yep, they do seem to be back - I saw that weird blank white ad space with the tribalfusion cookie late last night while visiting a lookup. I was hoping against hope that the topbanner was being rethought and gotten rid of completely. Ah well.

I believe the whole scientology thing was that he started a company and only hired scientologists... that's really not cool.

Actually its not this specific religion that's the problem. He could be Christian, Buddhist, Jedi Knightist or whatever. The problem is, it was a bunch of crooked friends from a religion that got together and scammed a lot of money.
We have no problem with scientology. Ron Hubbard created a religion in which he believed that human were put here by aliens. I'm cool with that. Again, its just a small population of the church that is involved in corrupt activities.
Also, I'm pretty sure the monitors have no problem about you discussing these matters in a calm, rational matter as long as you know the facts. We're not discussing a particular religion; we are discussing a certain man who made his religion relevant to the conversation by abusing his power. You're not on the neoboards anymore, hun. You don't need to worry about random freezings unless you deserve it.

I got a hasee bounce banner and the side bar button on the same page... Not anything outstanding, but I thought that was a funny coincidence. 
Or not? Has anyone else gotten matching ones?

And now my reply was deleted, because somebody on this board felt that I was insulting pinkpt? When will people learn.... I was not specifically targeting this site, just using it as an example, but somebody got a hissy fit I guess.

Considering you raised a topic from the dead (it hasn't been posted on since the 5th of November), and you did indeed start what could become a flame war, something which is not allowed on these forums.
You can expect a PM from me shortly.
Good day.
Locked.
