    Exclamation To the Mods (but you guys should read it too)

    OK first of all, I'm sure you get lots of complaints about it, but those little "sprinks" popup ads are REALLY annoying. Would it be at all possible to get rid of them or make them into at least a banner ad? Banners are a lot easier to ignore than a screen full of " BUY SPRINKS NOW!!!! " ads...


    Second, I keep getting redirected all over the place; usually its when I try to reply to a thread. Right after it finishes loading the page redirects to the thread before I can type anything.

    but its soo damned ugly!!
    Government is another way to say better…than…you.
    It’s like ice but no pick, a murder charge that won’t stick,
    it’s like a whole other world where you can smell the food,
    but you can’t touch the silverware.
    Huh, what luck. Fascism you can vote for.
    Humph, isn’t that sweet?
    And we’re all gonna die some day, because that’s the American way
