That was just me ^^.

And again, please, use:

Firefox
Adblock Plus complement
NoScript complement
And that's it!
I lol'd at how much Diogaluse Gigahmeh fails. Really. And little smiley too: Tongue

Tomorrow I'm going to be in contact with an advertising agency who wish to take us on board as a member of their network, they seeked me out.
I'll let you all know how it goes, hopefully they can replace these ads.
Tsunami Bomb - The Simple Truth
We could run away
Leave behind anything paper
Not knowing where we're going to stay
When there's no Mondays

You're part of me, it's so easy to see the simple truth
When I'm in your arms, I feel safe from harm and sorrow too
You're part of me, it's so easy to see the simple truth
But most of all, nothing couldn't be solved when I'm with you

Good Dazz, excellent. Hopefully they'll be manageable ads. I appreciate the work you're doing. Just be sure to ask them what their methods are. We don't want random redirects or 'fade-ins'. GOD how I hate fade-ins.

I too have run into several of these random redirects here on the bored. Like an idiot though I haven't recorded any of them. Next time one comes up I will.
