Ooh... I like this one...

Have it on by default, so that unregistered users see it, and if anyone from gamespy takes the time to register to check (after getting wind of an0n's usergroup idea), it would be there, till they turn it off, and if you hide that option somewhere, well, hidden, it would be passed by...

The best thing would be a combination of all the crap I came up with.

So the 'turn it off' option disappears if you've got a GameSpy IP.

If only it could be done... (not saying you can't do it, but that it would never be applied), unless Shrike hasn't seen this change yet...

I think it is intentional, HLP plans to attract a lot of new peeps soon and doesn't want the Eye of Gamespy to look disfavouably on them ;)

It's some kind of hidden agenda I tell you, a conspiracy! ;)

You sure?

I've refreshed about a million times and I ain't seen it.

I noticed that thanks to these new advertisements, some of the forums now have me horizontally scrolling in order to see everything in the forum.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

:nervous: Flipside may be more accurate than he knows.

Anyway, I'll work on a banner. Maybe even Flash, if I can remember my old action scripting skills... ;)

I think he's rather taken with having a crest - its quite nice if you ask me ;)

Anyway, having installed an0ns little "workaround" in the hosts folder I can safely say it works very nicely indeed (cheers an0n) and doesn't infringe on Gamespy because.. well I can do what I like on my end of things - the site still has banners as far as they're concerned.

Justice!

Well its either a very midly annoying banner ad at the top of the screen or everyone pays $10 a month to support the HLP website.

We've had banners on the top of the VW forums since the beginning.  That was part of our hosting requirements...

So I'm not sure what the uproar is about.  As long as there aren't flash overlays into my normal reading space or pop-up ads (blocked anyways) they are perfectly fine and they go towards keeping our fantastic community going.

although I block ads out of principle, IceFire has a very valid argument, and besides that, the space occupied by the banner is otherwise not used.

Alternatively, instead of removing it (which could hurt HLP in he long run) there's another way to 'remove' it. It is also possible to rig the banner html (width=0 hight=0 ring any bells?) so that the banner is still downloaded, thus producing the 'impression' to keep the sponsor happy yet being invisible because of the htmlsizing.
OTOH since we spent 99.99% of our time at any other point on a page than the top, you prolly will hardly ever see it even if you do not make it 0x0 in size (thru html, not physically resizing the img)...

Which workaround? Does it need to be activated? How?
