Should we boycott somepage?

Or just download firefox and listen to what mog says because IE is the spawn of the devil anyway, so you kill 2 birds at once

Now, now. Microsoft is not Satan, that's just a nasty rumor. They did, however, buy the rights to evil from Satan as reported by bbspot awhile back.

LOL. That's awesome. Good times.

Those TRUE ads arent safe for work.

Antivomit · 10-26-2006, 10:15 AM

I've noticed that too. I think it's all a big conspiracy to make us work harder ~.^

yeah, I have more problems with the TRUE ads then I do the IGE ads. I'm free to browse around during downtime at work but I stay away from somepage since you can't crop out those ads.

*Cough portable firefox.

I am in no way suggesting for you to install this very nice portable version of firefox on a usb stick. Sure you can do almost everything you can do with the full version including installing (adblock) extensions.
But it might be considered naughty

by some employers, and we all play by the rules right?

I'd ban it from work, it's NWFS. T_T. all the damn almost pornorific advertisements on the right hand side. T_T.

But really if they are actually recording your Internet activities this will do nothing to stop it. Unless all they do is read your IE logs.

NWFS Not Work For Safe?

Try NSFT Not Safe For Tarutaru

From a business perspective, the ads they use fit the demographic of those visiting the site. They aren't going to sell much else via popup ads other than gil. It is kinda sad that they assume:

1) We will buy gil
2) We must all be in need of on-line dating via True ads

Last_Viper · 11-07-2006, 04:10 AM

there was a discussion on somepage before.. i guess.
but i dunno if i`m right, but they are too not happy about their advertisment.

but the server host has the control about the ads.

and sure, they will put something on the site that has to do with the game + good money.

correct me if i`m wrong, but i`m the meaning there was a discussion on somepage about that...
