Hi

Seriously guys, is this a forum or just an advertising website?

Darn, big ads ads at the right, rectangular ad at the bottom and big ad at the top.

Completely ruined the forum looks.

Seriously this thing really stops me from visiting such forums

^^ Please can anybody inform me what is the eligibility for becoming an "Active" member.
I don't see advt, so that means, I am an active member. But what did I did to achieve that status?

i can still see ads everywhere, maybe this is for new members only.

Anyways i did not expect such high adverts for new members from big forums like thinkdigit.

Is there no one that can answer my curiosity? I wanted to know, what really qualifies to be an "Active member"?

well, the "fugly" advertisements at the right will get disabled if you'll be more active. And the adverts on the top and bottom can be blocked easily using Ad-block.

you are an active member. ;)

yup, it is! :p

If you use Firefox or Chrome, install Stylish and use the following CSS code.

Code:
td[width="164"] {
width: 0 !important;
display: none !important;
}

.div_level_1 {
width: 100% !important;
}

.forumarea {
width: 100% !important;
}

.forum_header {
display: none !important;
}


#contentarea, #footerlink, #footertxt, .footerfixedarea{
display: none !important;
}
table[align="right"] {
display: none !important;
}

#footer {
display: none !important;
}

Opera users don't have to do anything. ;) Opera has a built-in CSS applier.

Have to admit, the IE advertisement "fixed" positioning is really beyond irritating whenever you see them.

Advertisement Banner
more ads than DAP. (ok thats little too much)

due to the excessive number of apps this forum uses more bandwidth than even facebook.

Thanks Ico.. for answering me.

Btw, I was wondering, the following..
If you are a non-active member, then you are bombarded with adverts.
If you are an active member, then you get a cool, sleak, only one banner on top advert.
So, what if you are an super-active member?? Wont that mean, that he shud "be paid " instead! :))

When you joined the forum, posts in Chit Chat, Fight Club and Gamerz sections were not counted.

Ejjaktly. If that's the case, then i'd have reached 5000 posts easily as most of my posts were in that sections only. Esp the love story threads.... :D

yeah, that's what I think too.back in those days posts in every section were counted.

But I have seen too many dancing pigs (ichi aka Faun's ex-avatar) in all discussion in FightClub so I thought maybe he got all his posts from there.

WOW... bookmarked.. it looks a long thread to read, but interesting.

I am already feeling guilty to not have joined this thread when I needed it the most.
