dont worry. the people paying for the ads will realize we dont give an f when not a single click has been made on the links after a year.

Parky, dave does not make much money on this site at all (I'm not even sure how much actual "profit" is actually there). And people that contribute content do so for free.

Regardless of those ads, this site is actually really awesome. It's not affiliated with anything...not to a magazine or any such thing (ex: transworld snowboarding). It's literally for the rider. Yeah, there are negative things that go along with a message board (ridiculous gossip and what have you), but the sweetest aspect is that it brings people with a common interest together. Tons of people have made new friends they've met on this site, and I'd say some tricks were learned and some valuable information was passed along as well.

Whatever, I've just been thinking about that lately.

headhuntermx4, Ive used a mac twice in my life, I LOVE THEM, PC is bull dropppin's compared to mac, n yes Mozzilla Firefox does work for keeping away popups on here, I can't see if I've got a new PM or not (without looking at the top) now that I have it.

get the google tool bar... its so convienent to have the little search bar right there so you dont have to go to google everytime. its also pretty much the best pop-up/banner/ad blocker ive ever used. theres some other cool stuff too like autofill to fill out your forms and what not. Birthday

Those are all rips from Safari.

But I'm on a mac and still see these new ads. But they aren't too bad.
