Well, Operation Sports has put in enough ads (namely really annoying ones) now that I'm not sure I can stand it long enough to visit there.
Keep things just like they are, TGT.
For the love of God, yes! While I've very rarely spent much time on OS, mainly to check out a couple things on random games (HC 09, NBA 2K, NHL, etc), the amount of ads they have on that site keep me from ever caring to stay around longer than I must.
Ads can be done if done tastefully. There's a storm chasing site that I visit, stormtrack.org, that has ads on their site, but those ads are small, well placed and tastefully done that they are not a hindrance nor even really noticed while on the site. But I definitely prefer the non-ad covered TGT. :)
Well, I don't even mind ads. I run a couple websites, so I can appreciate that these guys need to do what they can to offset server costs, and, dare I say it, possibly make some profit.
But two things have started happening on OS that make me scratch my head. One is that when I'm just casually browsing, a pop-over ad will start and I have to wait ~5 seconds to skip it. The second is that this weekend they've got some Mario ads on the site that run a video with sound. Both of those are incredibly, incredibly annoying. I have no problem with ads, until they actually interfere with my interest in the site.

Yeah, pop-over ads and ads with video and sounds are two of the most annoying and aggravating and both will result in me spending as little bit of time humanly possible on a site that has them, even going so far as never visiting again is I can avoid it.
yep, the pop-overs are a site killer
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

That's what adblock is for guys...
Speaking of sites to avoid... my gosh... PASTAPADRE. Wow! Have you ever read those forums? There are some of the most mean, cruel, spiteful, childish, and rude posters on the internet that all come together at his site. I am amazed that pasta allows the posters to say what they say. The content posts are really disgusting. Thank goodness TGT is not like that. While talking about TGT, in my opinion this is the best forum on the internet! Well done to all the members involved. :up:
Whats funny is I don't like guns nor do I own one...but I'm obviously not anti-gun either. My friend was just doing some target shooting and he asked if anyone else wanted to try. My daughter jumps up and gets all excited. He held the gun with her when she shot it (that was my one stipulation) but man did she like it.

Well. Denis Leary has to update his count now.

If you're talking about the ads, eh. His ads don't bother me that much, except the occasional time that I accidentally click on one of the background ads.
I've seen so, so much worse :D
If you read some of the things he writes on G+, it's pretty easy to get the impression that he forms his writing and content to what gets the most views. So he'll give a compliment to EA or 2k, but manage to frame it in a way that it can still come across as a negative. So depending on your own view while reading it, chances are you'll agree with him. I like Bryan as a guy, but sometimes he'll drive me crazy with the way he writes stuff.
Now, the best part for me is that I know several people that are convinced Pasta is an EA hater. But if you look at the comments on anything that is remotely complimentary of EA, he's accused of EA bias and doing things so EA will continue to invite him to events (which, AFAIK, he has been to events in years).
It's kind of like how every fan base in college football is convinced that Brent Musburger is a homer for their opponent. Hey, whatever fits your narrative, bud.
I'm okay with the game discussions, movie reviews, etc. All that stuff is good. What I dislike is some of the posters who post racist comments, sexuality slander, etc. simply becuase someone doesn't agree with there stance on a VIDEO GAME. That is just silly and totally unecessary. On a personal note I have always found Pasta to be fair and pretty objective. It's the people who post on his forum that I sometimes take issue with.
Gotcha. Can't disagree there. Obviously I misunderstood you slightly :D
Though I do have way too much fun playing the "where do I know you from?" game with some of his "anonymous" posters. I'm pretty sure I've figured out a couple of them.
lol
RIP to Eugene Polley who came up with one of the greatest inventions, the TV remote control.
The Entertainment Consumer's Association isn't a fan of CISPA, and they're taking to the Interwebs again with a call for action.

Congress is currently debating the merits of two pieces of legislation, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) and the Cybersecurity Act of 2012. CISPA has passed in the House of Representatives, but its cousin, the Cybersecurity Act of 2012, is still being debated in the Senate. We need to do all we can to make sure this legislation stops there.
The legislation amends and updates the National Security Act of 1947, which doesn’t contain provisions regarding cyber crime. While this law absolutely needs to be updated, this legislation is the latest example of Congress debating technology issues, while not understanding the full implications of the legislation they’re trying to pass.
Both pieces of legislation attack privacy by having corporations share your information with the Government under the guise of cyber security. It’s George Orwell’s classic book 1984 right here, right now.
Is Batman ***? Major DC Comics character to come out of the closet.
DC Comics plans to reintroduce a character as *** in a future issue, it has been revealed.
Co-publisher Dan DiDio previously said that the company would not change the sexual orientation of an existing superhero and would bring in a new one altogether.
But at Kapow Comic Convention in London on Sunday, he revealed that an existing character - who was previously assumed to be straight - will become ‘one of our most prominent *** characters’, according to comic blog BleedingCool.com.
Senior VP Sales Bob Wayne said DiDio’s view ‘had evolved’, comparing the shift to Barack Obama’s recent endorsement of same-sex marriage.
DiDio did not specify which character would ‘come out’ or in which issue it would be featured.
But Courtney Simmons, DC Entertainment’s senior vice president of publicity, told ABC News that it would be soon.
'One of the major iconic DC characters will reveal that he is *** in a storyline in June,' Simmons told the network.
There has been much speculation on Twitter about who the character could be
@JenWhy12 Tweeted: ‘One of the characters of DC comics will be ***, what one will it be? I hope it's Batman.’
@dnghia added: ‘DC Comics is about to unveil that one of its supeheroes is ***. Who do you think it is? My money is on Aquaman.’
DC Comics’ portfolio includes iconic characters such as Batman and Robin, Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern.
Batwoman, a DC favourite, made her comic book comeback as a lesbian in 2006.

:fp: :smh: :down: What is this world coming to?
I don't know if Batman is ***, but liking Batman is. ;)
Robin is probably the culprit anyway. :D

Well, question is, does Robin count for this "change over" or is he already automatically considered ***? I haven't kept up with comics in probably 13 years, but Robin was always the one who instantly came across as a closet *** from the moment he was introduced.
comics..giving in to special interest minority groups :smh:
Police: Group Staples Roommate’s Lips Shut, Tortures Him With Power Tool
A group of six is behind bars after police say they bound their 41-year-old roommate’s feet with tape, stapled his lips shut, and spent the night torturing him with a small power tool in their Utah home near Salt Lake City.
Police believe the suspects were suspicious about their new roommate, who told authorities he’d moved into the house in Magna a week and a half earlier and had agreed to remodel the basement in exchange for rent.
“One of the suspect’s claims over the last several weeks different people have pulled a gun on him in the street,” Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal said. “They believe (the victim) was responsible for it.”
Hoyal says six men and women held the roommate at gunpoint in their home starting late Saturday or early Sunday. They handcuffed him, put staples in his ears and chest, and used a Dremel tool to cut him, according to jail reports.
Police said the roommates struck him multiple times with objects including a crutch, a keyboard, a laptop and the butt of a shotgun.
“All night they tortured him,” Hoyal said.
The group decided at about 4 a.m. Sunday that the roommate might not be responsible for the threats, Hoyal said. They released the man, who reportedly fled to his sister’s house and was taken to a hospital.

So they just thought that he might not be responsible :fp: :fp: :fp:
