| Welcome to Our Hoosier Board! Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions. Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful. Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Hey Guys, I know Brian has been plugging this for some time, and I want say it works as advertised. My main home system crashed a few months ago, and now I'm surfing on a 866MHz Pentium system. The adblocker improves this site's performance dramatically for me because you're not always waiting for the adds to download. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 Edited by HoosierLars, Feb 27 2010, 01:39 PM.

I don't know. If there was one, Google would probably block it. :-) |

glad you finally came to your senses, lars. ;) It's surprising how few people actually use this feature and how many are continuing to put their entire computer at risk by using IE. dreachon, that looks like the chrome ABP (i didn't even know they had one). First you have to subscribe to an ads-list (this is free). It basically is a list of known advertising urls that it'll block. after that, you don't need to do anything, it'll just block all the ads. br |

Somebody has to pay for all of our free surfing, so I didn't mind throwing the advertisers a few bones. On a fast system, it's not really a problem, but if you have an old system and/or a slow connection, serving adds is a performance killer. Edited by HoosierLars, Feb 27 2010, 03:46 PM.

Hmmm. I DLed it and now there are no ads on this page. Don't think I signed up for a list or anything. Are you sure? |

advertisers still get "hits" on their ads when they're blocked. br |
