Looks like we're back in action...

[Eraser]

So, what did IGN do? Plant secret spying devices in the code?

[Foo]

PLEASE EXCUSE OUR DUST.

[Eraser]

[MKJ]

i tell you what they didnt do; update their own site. it has been the same for 4 days now

newyears is over, homo's. time to get back to work

[seremtan]

jack thompson is now admin here and has been ordered to remove all references to videogames because they are sinful and make baby jesus cry

[R00k]

I don't know, but for the last month or so, the pages here hang while trying to load something from atax.gamespy.com and wrapper.gamespy.com.

[Grudge]

That's why I've been adblocking them.

I've got AdBlock, and I never see any ads. Which ones need to be blocked?

There are no ads (yet), but I'm blocking atax.gamespy.com and wrapper.gamespy.com because there are scripts on the pages calling them that makes the pages load slower.

LOL!

/Prepares greasemonkey script to cover it up

[R00k]

noscript for the win :icon14:

greasemonkey script

Which of these is easiest to set up and/or works best?

[primaltheory]

Greasemonkey just erases the code as I get it, (the code for the futre banner or w/e) noscript just stops the image from ever displaying (I don't know how) but greasemonkey can do MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH more then this (like automatically generate stats) Though greasemonkey has a rather steep learning curve...try both out?

[Foo]

And for firefox there's the 'adblock' extension.

[primaltheory]

Greasemonkey and noscript are both firefox too afaik (well greasemonkey is)

[seremtan]

noscript just blocks all javascript, and can be disabled for specific sites/domains. the only drawback is sometimes when video media are embedded in the page it can cause FF to have a fit if javascript is disabled for that page

[R00k]

I'm already running adblock, but that doesn't keep it from stalling on those gamespy sites when the page is loading.

If Greasemonkey doesn't have those problems I'll probably try that out.

I've already had my fill of embedded media issues with FF.

? just manually adblock ajax.gamespy.com/* or whatever.

[BlueGene]

If you notice a certain site is giving popups or is slow because of javascript all you have to do is view the source, locate the problem and then adblock it.

For example if you look at q3w, you will see this.

Code: Select all

<script language="javascript"> 
<!-- 
document.write("<"+"script type='text/javascript' src='http://wrapper.gamespyid.com/a?pagetype=pnh_content&size=prestitial'>"); 
document.write("<"+"/script>"); 
//--> 
</script>

Simply add http://wrapper.gamespyid.com/* to adblock and it should prevent it from doing what ever it's doing.

I've never web hosted but do people try and put ad's on quake3world.com without the host's permission?
