    Forum Patriot Ad

    Okay, I've been frankly getting pissed off with the forums. I guess you people have seen that "Oh, petition the Patriot Act" Ad that's popping up. Porblem is, IT KEEPS COMING BAKC EVERY DAMN PAGE. I've tried everything, hell, T tried AdBlock for the purpose of trying to get rid of it, and NOPE, it just doesn't go away. Keeps coming back on every new page, or whether I switch tabs or something.

    Anyone have a fix? If any?


    Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.

    You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

    The whole Patriot Act thing is not completely an ad or a malicious pop-up. It's a pop-up from the Internet Defense League. These forums are a part of said Internet Defense League. Any time a major change in US law is approaching (for example, laws that challenge Net Neutrality), all websites that are a part of the Internet Defense League will show a pop-up reminding visitors to consider doing something about it.
    These Internet Defense League pop-ups has been discussed many times in the past and I was pretty certain that every forum regular was aware as to what these pop-ups were and as to why they're here. But it appears that, instead of its original intention of uniting users to stop the government f*cking with us, it is actually driving users insane.

    Methinks Remi should think twice about keeping the Internet Defense League's HTML code on our website.

    Fixes for the persisting pop-ups? Cleaning your cookies, restart your browser, something along the lines of that. If it isn't fixed, see to using a different method of browsing these forums like getting a different web browser for the time being.

      I normally see those things once and then they are gone.

            Been there, tried that, and it still keeps goddamn happening. I might just take a break from the forums for a while until it goddamn stops, because it's annoying the ever-loving shit out of me.
