I took mine out as I want to know if they return. It is very easy to put back and on my XP box not at home, it slows the load a small amount, whereas the restricted site does not.

The same TubaDiva who recently told us all that we shouldn’t ask the Administrators anything about the workings of the forums because they don’t actually know, and really aren’t given any information from any of the ‘technical staff’ at all?
Yeah, sounds like she’s making guesses and talking out of her ass.
Don’t worry, it won’t be long before we’re not allowed to discuss blocking them, much like we aren’t with the Google ads.

OK, this is back from page seven or so, but I just read about this whole controversy (and then its apparent resolution) today. I stopped reading at page eight where another thread was linked to that descried how everything is better now, so I am unsure if anyone else commented on this.
Anyway, when the hell did this rule happen? You aren’t allowed to talk about how to block the Google ads?

Back when they introduced the Google ads, we were told not to talk about how to block them, but we were able to talk around how to block them.
The question would need to be phrased along the lines of …
“On a site I frequent, they have ads I wish to block, what are methods of doing this?”
Then someone would ask for browser & Op system or someone else would say, just get yourself on FireFox and use Ad Blocker Plus.
I might mention restricted sites in IE options, which works really good in IE7 and not so good in IE6 and of course their is always the Hosts files entry solution pointing a website to 127.0.0.1
