if someone wants to, you can code a JS code that has display = "none" if the ad has the text "eliminate kixtart"

I can then add the code to the board code.
but, for the moment, I need to put the ads back, so henri won't get mad

I just send an e-mail to Henri asking him if he could block ads from scriptlogic in Google adsense.
Just wait and see for now.

Don’t know what SL is hoping to achieve with this but it sucks imho.

This isn't really a problem, is it?

Henri is hosting this site without payment (as far as I know), so he's not losing any income with those ads, if anything, he's making money of them!

Besides, SL is built on KiXtart, and if you want to do anything outside the standard provided options, you still have to program in Kix...

It's just a marketing line, no harm done.

besides why would they have this on their site, if you don't need Kix at all?

question is, why have any fragging ads at all?
I wouldn't put them there.
this is supposed to be "official" site.

anyways, positive is that he has restricted the ads to the forums thus still leaving the unholy blashemous stuff out of the webpages.

Ok, but where will the money come from to host this site?

Don't get me wrong, I don't like em either, but imho it's a small price to pay for hosting a free site like this...

Reply from Henri.

The original reply was in Dutch, translated it to English.

Hi,

I added scriptlogic to the filter. Thanks for reporting this.

Greetings,

Henri

drill, hosting a site is 10-20$ per year thing.
if he hasn't got that, why host the site in the first place?

this site ain't free.
just like freeware and adware ain't same thing.

Eh Mart,
Any chance you could borrow Henri's ear and get these ads blocked again?
