In the past the end user can still opt to not see any ads, even if they comply with the "acceptable ads" policy. This would be news if they are making a change so that the end user is forced to see a given ad that the advertiser pays extra for, regardless of their extension settings.

Ahh yes. Wish I had mod points for you. I ran a BBS too for a while back in high school - on a Commodore 64 using CNET. Had a couple of 1541 floppy drives and an SFD 1001 (1 MB, baby!).

Used to love hearing those sounds, then I'd run over to see who logged on and what they were doing, maybe chat with them, etc. *sigh* Those were the days...

I wish I still had all my old C64 stuff (along with game guides like that). Back when I was probably 30 or so (year 2000) my wife asked if she could sell all of it in a garage sale, and I agreed. Wasn't really her fault because I agreed, but oh man I wish I wouldn't have. My 26 year old step-daughter and 16 year old son are pissed at her for it, though.

Anybody else remember the old Infocom hint books they published with invisible ink and markers to reveal the hints? They had questions for most major puzzles, and three levels of hints IIRC. You started with the vaguest hint and progressed until the last hint just told you how to do it, or close to it.

Great. Now I'm having a major Infocom nostalgia flashback. Thanks /.
