Dude! I completely concur! I had to turn my volume all the way down because I was getting tired of hearing "HELLO... HELLO" everytime a new screen popped up! That crap has got to go!

After last weeks debacle, donations are completely out of the question:rolleyes:

I thought you had to walk a straight and narrow line because the advertisers pay the bill, so why donate anyways? It's just a forum... which come a dime a dozen these days.

Actually, he has been around for years interacting with various members of RM. But last Spring he was kicked off for licking the bottom of his bike and because of that he had to create a new name

Sorry, I wasn't aware there was a standard time period one must geek out on here before voicing an opinion. :rolleyes:

Ditto, am I crazy for not hearing it? Or are ya'll crazy for hearing it?:think: hmmmm......
Just an aside, those of you who are seeing/hearing it, what web brousers are you using, I use Mozilla and have extensions to block lots of advertisers.

Using Moz Firefox, at home, and I just realized I don't see it. I usually come on here at work, and I have to use IE there.

I see your point (although I don't know what last weeks debacle was) but I disagree. Yes, the advertisers pay part of the bill, but whats $20 for somthing I use everyday. I have learned a LOT and met a lot of cool riders on the site, and to me, the $20 is totally worth it to go toward the cause.

Corey brings up a good point as well, Pinkbike and MTBR, which are the other two big forums, are a joke. There are quite a few small local forums, CCVA, DCStreet, etc. but as far as a large forum with lots of people who know what they are talking about, Ridemonkey is where its at
