And when the topics where somewhat intelligent...
And when the battles boards didn't ban legendaries...

I also miss the fact that there weren't about 5 advertisements for new forums every day.

I mean, there were some back then, but nothing compares to the hell the last Sunday, where we had 6(!!!) topics advertising for one forum.

I remember a fad that started when some idiot thought he invented sweeping (Called it the clean cut theory or something like that), and it sparked a huge torrent of topics where people pretended they invented something new and amazing.

I miss those days when no one cared when I went to the forums in class, but now, people continuously stare because of the advertisement on the left...

I miss when joke topics didn't stink and when there was quite a few intelligent topics on GameFAQs. Also, like Hatdude said, when Starly started the Greatest Tier List. That was awesome >_>.

I was talking about TLF. My bad. In that case, I miss that Swept by a Lapras fad. It apparently happened over night and every thread the next day mentioned Lapras in some way or another.

If you download Firefox and get the Adblock Plus addon, it doesn't show any ads. That's why I was really confused by the "why do we have porn ads?" topics when we started switching over here.

I have Firefox, but not the Adblock Plus. I don't have FireFox on my laptop. I think I should get it when I go to class.

...I'm more annoyed by the flashing "YOU'RE OUR 5,000,000 VISITOR! CLICK HERE TO COLLECT YOUR PRIZE!" ads.

If locked in a room with that, the head on ads, and the web ads that shout stuff at me, I'll charge a wall hoping it's a huge TV, and electrocute myself.

*hugs ad block*
