I knew something was missing, but couldn't tell what it was. Tells you something about the effectiveness of the ads.

I'm actually a bit scared. What if cr0 lost his sponsorship? Are we going to get a bad update sometime soon?

I hope not. I have to believe that this is among the best forums in the world, with quite a few folks frequenting it, and such a great set of discussions happening always. It'd be a shame to see it go away.

Good riddance. The monkey was horrible, but all the UGO ads were, without exception, totally worthless shit.

Isn't that lynx? Or maybe it's spelled differently in Linux than other *nix systems.

lynx is the correct spelling, it's a universal package.

there's lynx which is flat text, and links which can do a few colors and tables (with out lines and bgcolor's and stuff). the name "links" is supposed to be a knock off of lynx, cuz lynx has been around for years.

the old topics have banners in them. maybe it's just me/my fux0red comp. but like try it. go to an older type post and see if it has banners.

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

thats beacuse the code hasn't been updated yet. If you post to an old thread, the ad should disappear...

are you shittin' me?!?! I'm damned happy the ads are gone! stupid monkey was coming up in every ad, and netscape 4.76 for linux can't handle that!

But I did discover that links (text browser) is da-bomb-f'in-diggity, so there was some good in it
