What you did, **worm** , was stealing. Ads pay for this site. By depriving the advertisers from their contracted right to be seen by the people who came to the site, you stole from them. You should be prosecuted and imprisoned. For at least 2 years. And if you are under 18, your parents should be prosecuted too.
And if the board feels compelled to turn off HTML because of your stupid, illegal and immoral stunt, I hope you get cancer and die a slow painful death.
Actually, you know what? I _already_ hope you get cancer and die a slow painful death. But only after seeing each and every one of your relatives waste away from that flesh-eating disease.
## Just in case there’s any doubt about how I feel about this.

Wow, manny. I guess the only gasoline I could pour on the fire would be my wish to actually be the responsible party for inflicting the cancer in the little tapeworm and all of it’s annelid phylum.
Let’s feed him to the fishes.

Wow, makes perfect sense. I am now going to go and not start 35 threads. That should be just enough to keep on the misdemeanor side of the law.
This guy is either hopeless or another sock puppet. Leave him alone, he’ll go away.

Do you think your funny you fuckwit?
Where did you start a debate?
and the advertizing was there before you found this board, so your rationale that the advertisment is benefiting from your stupid fucking stunts is obsolete. You were Blocking them!!! how is that helping?
Bite my fat one, I hope we never have to hear from you again.
and now for a valium…

Uh, for those of us who appear to have logged off before the action started, would someone mind explaining what this is all about? Of course, I’ve seen enough of gl0worm’s personality from this thread to hazard a guess…

NTG, and others concerned. Here’s a link I started in the ATMB forum which has additional links to all the threads I found where the gleaming crap sack has vandalized the banner ads.

In case anyone missed it, the worm practiced on the “About” forum before posting this last night in GD.

> If youre using the latest browsers youll notice at the top of the screen where the advertisement usually goes, i have replaced it. (some peeps may not be able to view it, o well) It started out that i just wanted to see if i could do it. **Then i was like hmmm i wonder if this would qualify as a debate, like would it make peeps mad?** So i figured i would find out. **So, tell me what you think. I guess ill make an argument: the guy paying for the advertisment has that ad on every board, every topic, post, whatever.** So, what do yall think? By the way, anyone who can do it, bring the advertisement back! its a challenge, this is pretty cool! (it can be done, you just have to know how to do it).
(bolding added)
I believe it proved its own hypothesis. Fucking with the ads makes everyone mad. (Unless it was trying to annoy little marshmallow chicks, but that is a different issue.)

It is amazing how anybody who would put all that time in fucking up an innocent advertisement banner is incapable of locating a **shift key** on his keyboard.
**Assworm** : I’m sure you tried to impress us with your superior HTML capabilities. Then you proceeded to read our irritated responses - whilst masturbating, no doubt. Next step: you’re defending yourself by claiming your DYI Web Page Design was an attempt at a debate. Uh-huh.
Your intelligence is not served by posting incoherent messages with no puntuation or capitalisation. In fact, your intelligence might not be served at all by logging on to this message board. Didn’t you read the sign at the door, fucko ?

Falcon, I _was_ up late last night. Gl0worm (or however the hell he spells it) had started a thread called, roughly, “No More Advertising!” When you selected it, you discovered the banner ad at the top of the page was replaced by a black box with another message from wormser about getting rid of all advertising or somesuch.
Now, in all fairness, I have to say, I was momentarily impressed by this little ‘feat’. It’s certainly beyond my technical capabilities at the moment. That takes care of the first five seconds.
After that, my opinion was pretty much what others have said, with a little less violence. Yeah, the banner ads might be intrusive, but only if you’re dumb enough to just hang around the top of each page. They also pay the freight for the board, which IMO is one pretty nifty piece of software, with all the threads it keeps track of.
So, Gl0worm, you might be a fairly precocious kid who, under certain circumstances, I’d probably say, “Cool. Now, put it back the way it was before the moderator bans you. And by the way --” _WHACK ON THE HEAD_ – “don’t be hassling my favorite board anymore!” You may be a sharp kid, Gl0worm, but you’re _also_ an immature little brat with delusions of his own importance.
As for there being no room for childish games on this board, I entirely disagree. However, they’re _grown-up_ childish games, and not for the likes of you.
