I just now realized that those ads were gone. I think The Google Incident is why they aren't at the top post anymore.
"Loid, I'm pretty sure you hate your father more than I hate my mother with a hammer" - Ninten, Loids Are Not ChristmasPretty much. Now there's a second ad along the left side, instead.
(Also, the Google ads were quietly re-added to the forums last month.)
Heapers’ HangoutYou mean Antvasima or Ashki/Shrek Dragon? I certainly was intending to add more details on "What he got up to later" when I got to Anti's first request to reedit. As for Ashki... Sure, a deliberate ban-evade is good, but got anything else?

And Ashki is back. Some Single-Issue Wonk wont get the message...
2011 is gonna be a fun year for TV Tropes.
I'm not sure if I'm being sarcastic or not.
Heapers’ HangoutNevermind how new you are, we all have something to tell the newbies of the next generations now. Of course, I talk of the eternally damned PTitles and their banishment to the Hundred Hells Of Doom by our glorious highlord Fast Eddie.

People aren't as awful as the internet makes them out to be.My snarky post was not intended to start a whining fest about Dethroning Moment Of Suck.
As for the large amount of clueless users, perhaps us getting mentioned on a certain Blog has something to do with it...
"That said, as I've mentioned before, apart from the helmet, he's not exactly bad looking, if a bit...blood-drenched." - juancarlosTV Tropes was linked to on a Blog about the latest Penny Arcade debacle, and some of the people who showed up after following that link were not the brightest.

Rape victims need support, yes. Knee-jerk patronizing support? Not so much.
But soft! What rock through yonder window breaks? It is a brick! And Juliet is out cold.Yep, unfortunately. Presumably, he got banned again.
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

Hmm...the big thing I remember from August is that, early in the month, Eddie shuffled the ads around on the forums and some people whined. There was even an ad in the first post of each page for a while.
That was where the idea of "donate and get ads turned off" first came up.
