Walked into the site today...
And got blasted by all the banner adds.
All in favor of revoking admin rights to whomever resposible?
I thought I read not long ago that hackers now have a way to take control of your system just by having their banner add show up in your browser. You don't even need to click on the add.

Coxxorz called me an ad whore, so I wanted to setup what you see right now to appear just for him. So, I setup a big banner ad block at the top of the site with 4 ads. Only problem was that Google refuses to serve more than 3 ads per site at any one time.
So, I left it at 3 banner blocks.
Since I could not lock it to a particular person, I locked it to the Admin role. That means Coxxorz, BlackWalt and I would be the only ones seeing the big banners.
BlackWalt emailed me asking "WTF?". I explained to him what I did. He was fine with it.
I imagine what we are seeing is Coxxorz reaction to my joke. He was crafty and stupid at the same time: He saw that Google would not server more than 3 ads and decided to plaster the Jpegs of the ads instead. That seems to work well :-) But he was stupid because he did not limit the display to just Admins, but to everyone.
So now he gets kicked from Admins :-)
I will try to snap a view of the frontpage before I fix it all back.
Did you ever get a screen cap?
Poor Q-Bert got outsmarted by someone else and is trying to save face by bashing him.
I still say it is Q-Berts fault.
But now I feel like I truly belong, having finally been threatened with loss of admin status.
:-)
