Just curious. I have a Javascript blocker running in Firefox, and it always pops up. But y'all aren't running Google Ads or anything, so... why?

Yeah, we're running Google Ads. It's a thing. They're turned off if you're logged in though.

Normally that information would be here, but the thread content seems to have vanished.

Aha! I guess I forgot about the ads after I registered.

I'd often wondered about that. I too had forgotten the ads. Thanks for clearing it up.

The other thing you might be noticing is the stat tracker, that loads (regardless of membership) on every page. Just look at the bottom lefthand corner of every page to find a miniscule square.

That's facinating. It looks like around 8000 people searched for porn and ended up here. Where are we keeping this secret porno stash?

We don't have a porn stash. Probably we don't, I mean. But if we had a secret stash, it would most assuredly not be in the super secret Erotica Forum THAT DOES NOT EXIST. Nope. Don't even look for it, just underneath the Creation Forum, every 45 seconds. It won't be there, I assure you.

Isn't 'porn' the search term that brings up everything in a search engine's database? Even cbeebies comes up on a search for porn, although probably that's because someone somewhere has written a Balamory fic where Miss Hoolie and Archie get it on...

Just something I noticed today: the stat tracker, when you click it now, says that the site is in violation of the terms and conditions of the tracker, and the reports are not available.

From the warning page:

NOTE: The report pages of the Free Tracker are indeed open to your site audience, only editing is password protected. Hiding the button, sizing down the button or removing the link is NOT allowed.

My guess would be that we're violating the terms by "sizing down the button" in an attempt to "hide the button."

Yeah I should probably do something about that at some point. I've got analytics installed, but completely never check it. I probably should.
