Non-Halloween related stuff. Same rules: family oriented, no flaming, be nice. ;-)

I never noticed it loading any slower. I do get a bit annoyed with the ad at the top of the forum but if it helps Halloween.com keep this site free I can deal with it.

Same as Nevermore here. I forgot it was new already so it doesn't bother me at all now.

Get an ad blocker already. I use Firefox with Ghostery. It blocks all trackers too. You wouldn't believe how many some sites have.

I have Firefox with AdBlocker. Must be why I haven't seen any of this.
