Well, I'd say the poll was pretty inconclusive... It's too hard to tell whether it's a yes or a no...

:E

I vote No because I have never actually seen these ads you guys keep talking about.

Yes, and I ban those domains in the 'big wide world'.

I don't particularily want to do that to hl2.net :|

Besides, it's one thing to have to visit a site once or twice and be done with it. I check here a couple times a day. If it had popup ads timed to appear every 10 minutes, I'd stop coming.

The last time I checked...McDonalds wasn't "banned". I said the big wide world...I meant the big wide world. Not the playground that is, the internet.
Really, how are people taking this so seriously? It just doesn't make sense for you to get so worked up over such an insignificant little thing. Its not like your post are being changed, and everybody knows the advertisement is automatically put there...Like I said before, just get your perspective right. This is such an unimaginably small thing to even bother devoting your time to. If you really don't like them...make a petition about it Or do something more productive and ignore them.

Well **** it, ad block it is. So much for supporting the site.

A poll is a forum petition IMO.

And I don't care about McDonalds. I don't know about you, but I haven't left my room for over 14 months. All those banner ads on the side of the road were driving me nuts!!!

Anyway, this is the intranets. It is my sworn duty to whine, complain, argue, and pontificate over ever minor annoyance and insignificant thing that crosses my path. Duty always comes first you know.

So. I only have 143,922 threads left to contribute to before I can take a break and do something useful. I'll see you guys later :|

I'll refer you to Pi Mu Rho's post where he states clearly

THE MODS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ADVERTS

I'll then refer you to the part where you say:

"Pie u r teh gies hoo can tlk2 Munrofl easy yes? Got hax? Stop bein so fick + sparmming teh very same fourm j00 m0derate biatch"

I think your questions have been answered.

[KagePrototype]

What the **** does the staff here do?

They make sure this place doesn't turn into a breeding ground for trolls and flamers.

What the **** does the staff here do?

Parasite, with 24,000 active members what on earth do you think we do here? If you don't think we're doing anything, what should we be doing here?

Right, I think this thread has pretty much had it's day. It's now going round and round in circles so I'm going to close it before degrades completely into insults.

If you feel you haven't been able to voice your opinion in here, and would like to add something, please do not hesitate to PM me with a nice polite objection.

I assure you that just because this thread has been closed, it doesn't mean it is being ignored. However, any new threads that are created in the same vein as this one will be shut down. Anything else that needs to be said can be said directly to myself, HotSoup, StarMonkey or Munro.
