Many would say the ads are "just icing on the cake". You been here 1 whole month? Don't think you would begin to understand the demise of the place with one month under your belt

Except he wasn't talking about these last few days. He was referring to the mass exodus of like fifteen or twenty people. (Most of which still post here.)

I like it. Now we can post links to ebay without being locked or banned (see below. If the Forum can do it, so can the members). /:\

Um...no
Demise-: death, a cessation of existence or activity
Oh, and "cessation" means- a temporary or final ceasing (as of action) : stop

I really don't think your eyes will ever open up enough to fully understand

I could get by with the ads but its what its doing to my computer that bothers me. If I go somewhere other than CF I end up with say 25,000 temporary internet files.As soon as I log onto CF I have 25,000 and in 10 min. I have so many like 10 Zillion my computer barly moves.If I delete the temp. files it runs fine for a few min. and then I have to keep going back and deleting.Every 5 min. or so !!! This just started when the ads showed up.
