| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | So, once more, TFN was rejected from the AdSense program, which confirms that there's a more substantial problem than the TLD (which was a longshot to begin with). Once again, no reason was given for the rejection (and I don't feel too eager to ask the fairly annoying AdSense community for suggestions), though I submit it's one of these reasons: - The account I negligently allowed Pavel/Tiger to get banned has blacklisted TFN. - There's a login. (Though this is retarded given that TFN has always had a login and at one point also had AdSense.) - "excessive profanity" Of course, if 10.1% of non-DSB messages here containing some variation on "fuck", "shit", or "bitch" (in order of frequency!) constitutes excessive profanity, then Maddox etc. must be the apocalypse. It's also possible that the DSB has disqualified the site (because it's hiding), but this is doubtful as the reviewers would have to know it exists. The interesting thing here is that there is now way more DSB than TFN: of 73,880 messages, 53,550 are from the DSB, or 72.48%. Fascinating. Anyway, I think I'll put the AdSense plan to rest for now and look for alternatives when this place actually has traffic. |

| Level: 43 Editor | 10.1% of non-DSB messages here containing some variation on "fuck", "shit", or "bitch" (in order of frequency!) Wait, seriously? That's almost impressive. --- "There's a pony in the shop, but don't buy it. It might do something unfortunate to you." ~from the first Summoner's Seal topic |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | Actually, I was expecting a higher number, something like 20%. It is after all three words, all of which can be used in numerous different ways. Also keep in mind that I counted the instances of each word and added all of them together, not the instances of each message with one or more of those words, so the actual number of profane messages is smaller. The more impressive number is the 72.48%. ___ ~ Ogordemir ~ "The sciences have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." ~ H.P Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu |

Ohhhhh that makes more sense then. The more impressive number is the 72.48%. Yeah, but I think we've known for a while that the DSB kicks our asses in post count. I mean, look at the top users list sorted by number of posts. Of the top 15, there's... you, me, xp, Tiger, and Tiger again. The rest are DSBers, at least as far as I know. --- "There's a pony in the shop, but don't buy it. It might do something unfortunate to you." ~from the first Summoner's Seal topic |

This is true, but I sort of stopped paying attention to that a while ago, so this came as a shock. ___ ~ Ogordemir ~ "The sciences have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." ~ H.P Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu |

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | The account I negligently allowed Pavel/Tiger to get banned has blacklisted TFN. It blacklists users, not websites. Mainly since HP had nothing to do with TFN. Make a new account foo. --- Alestra77: you seem to have glossed over the fact that you treat all women like prostitutes Alestra77: "k, so, I bought you coffee... when do I get my handjob?"

| Level: 49 Liberal Arts Major | There's a lot wrong with that statement: 1. Accounts are tied to websites and people. 2. Even though the account was used on HP, it was still registered initially for TFN and me. 3. The new account was rejected. ___ ~ Ogordemir ~ "The sciences have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." ~ H.P Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu |
