I remember for a time, before i got excommunicated from cards talk, STLTODAY would have this stupid autoloading advertisement that was hidden in plain site somewhere on the page. it would always be so obnoxious and it could never be found! wtf

Yep. Nothing like being in a "work" meeting and firing up something and getting a video loading.

NoScript is amazing and one of the reasons I stick with Firefox.

May I ask why smith gave you the boot from Cards Talk? (this may be a great New Thread topic)

wish i could remember why i got booted. man he was such a D. didn't they prevent people from using hotmail, yahoo, etc type email accounts? feel like i used my college email at first which got "banned" then i didn't have any other email other than the free ones and they wouldn't allow that. im so glad i dont have to deal with that idiotic board.

I can't remember exactly but i wanna say it was because i was trolling BG hard and got the boot.
I came back under a disguise and then MS sniffed me out after Lesson made a post about GRB and i was like "hell yea GRB kicks ass" and gave me the IP/EMAIL/Universal ban-hammer
lol i also remember one time when i got put in timeout because of another poster's (lebowski) thread about fat chicks that turned so epic. Lots of people got put in timeout and our only way to get reinstated was to apologize to MS via email.
Good times.
