Choice of ads

[Dr. Doog]

really? I see the ads. I don't know how to block them because they're flash and not images.

Flashblock ftw!

Honestly if my parents monitored my internet use and saw those ads at the top of a page I regularly visit, they would probably have the site blocked on my computer.

It just sort of puts one off.

Your parents are crazy and over protective. You better watch out if they ever catch you watching Happy Days (They discuss premarital sex on their, and its even implied that the Fonz takes part of it!)

If my parents are overprotective, I'd hate to see what underprotective parents are like.

Thanks for mentioning Flashblock, RKN. I didn't know it existed.

I guess if your parents are (which they obviously aren't, sand just misunderstood ), then underprotective parents are the ones buying the porn and booze and drugs for their kids. =D

I use Adblock and Adblock Filterset.G. Install those, and pretty much every ad is gone. Most ads come from certain providers, y'see, and Filterset.G blocks those, and updates every so often.

If your parents are going to block a site about a cartoon because the ad has a women on it or something then they are over protective. They should trust you to make your own judgements and have your own beliefs to what is apropriate and what isn't

[Dr. Doog]

Sand, that's the second time you misunderstood what happened. his parent's aren't overprotective.

I don't block flash because I need it at times. As far as I can tell, the ads are region specific, as I only ever get either an ad for a Canadian ISP or an ad for Bell, which provide satellite TV in Canada (fig. 1). So I highly doubt DCS has any control over it.

[Angstwolf]

Do the reasons to move to Canada never end?

[Dr. Doog]

no.
