What The ???

[sunzeal]

Hi

Seriously guys, is this a forum or just an advertising website?

Darn, big ads ads at the right, rectangular ad at the bottom and big ad at the top.

Completely ruined the forum looks.

Seriously this thing really stops me from visiting such forums

[himadri_sm]

use ad block plus if you use firefox & also search for neat digit firefox extension.(by tareyg)

[Cybertonic]

Check what it says above the advertisements on the right. The ads aren't there for active members

^^ Please can anybody inform me what is the eligibility for becoming an "Active" member.
I don't see advt, so that means, I am an active member. But what did I did to achieve that status?

More than 100 posts??

Ads? Where?

[sunzeal]

i can still see ads everywhere, maybe this is for new members only.

Anyways i did not expect such high adverts for new members from big forums like thinkdigit.

[neo_natasha]

Thats neat ! No ads for active members.

[Vyom]

Is there no one that can answer my curiosity? I wanted to know, what really qualifies to be an "Active member"?

[nims11]

i see less ads after i login, now i use adblock...

well, the "fugly" advertisements at the right will get disabled if you'll be more active. And the adverts on the top and bottom can be blocked easily using Ad-block.

If you use Firefox or Chrome, install Stylish and use the following CSS code.

td[width="164"] {
width: 0 !important;
display: none !important;
}

.div_level_1 {
width: 100% !important;
}

.forumarea {
width: 100% !important;
}

.forum_header {
display: none !important;
}


#contentarea, #footerlink, #footertxt, .footerfixedarea{
display: none !important;
}
table[align="right"] {
display: none !important;
}

#footer {
display: none !important;
}

Opera users don't have to do anything. Opera has a built-in CSS applier.

Have to admit, the IE advertisement "fixed" positioning is really beyond irritating whenever you see them.

yup, I know.

Much much less than that.

[thetechfreak]

Advertisement Banner
more ads than DAP. (ok thats little too much)

due to the excessive number of apps this forum uses more bandwidth than even facebook.

[Vyom]

Thanks Ico.. for answering me.

Btw, I was wondering, the following..
If you are a non-active member, then you are bombarded with adverts.
If you are an active member, then you get a cool, sleak, only one banner on top advert.
So, what if you are an super-active member?? Wont that mean, that he shud "be paid " instead!

[thetechfreak]

We should be.

If not paid say we get an 4 Gb pendrive for 1000 posts.
...
And an iPod Touch for 10000 posts!

[Faun]

optimistic

[gagan007]

in such case desiibond will definitely get a special reward

BTW Faun I just noticed you have a huge sum too. I think most of them were posted in Fight Club discussions

[thetechfreak]

Too bad posts arent counted in fight club now

we really should get prize for posting here

I don't think post in FC will be counted ....

From the start itself it is the same IIRC.

[thetechfreak]

When I joined this forum everything was counted.

When you joined the forum, posts in Chit Chat, Fight Club and Gamerz sections were not counted.

[furious_gamer]

Ejjaktly. If that's the case, then i'd have reached 5000 posts easily as most of my posts were in that sections only. Esp the love story threads....

[thetechfreak]

I really want to get links to few 'classic' fight club threads.

[furious_gamer]

http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/comm...-story-54.html

Just one of greatest threads in TDF....

[Kl@w-24]

When I joined, posts in ALL sections were counted. Then we had a pruning and everyone lost hundreds in post-count.

[gagan007]

yeah, that's what I think too.back in those days posts in every section were counted.

But I have seen too many dancing pigs (ichi aka Faun's ex-avatar) in all discussion in FightClub so I thought maybe he got all his posts from there.

[thetechfreak]

Miss the old TdF...
