Simtropolis has changed

[CheshireDragon 13]

WOW! Simtropolis has changed!

I disappear for about 1yr and this site has completely changed! I cant even adjust my signature until I get 25 votes

I am using a completely different system from what my sig was before...not just a different OS, but different hardware all together.

Good to be back though. Ready to play SimCity 4 once again!

Sure has. I've been back recently and there's a whole new generation of users, which is really weird since I've always been among the youngest. Welcome back Here's a vote to get you one step closer. Other than that I don't know that reputation is actually used for anything, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Really? Then they've changed something since I've joined. When I first joined, you needed 30 posts to change your sig...Well, here's another Rep. Point for you.

Here's a rep point for having a silly avatar. Made me smile.

Are you sure its reputation? I thought it was posts.

[jacksunny 741]

I thought it was posts as well.

Ya it's posts, the rep doesn't seem to do much, except tell people of your credibility.

I noticed something else today.

Some new ads in STEX files and signatures.

Another:

Dirk has given in to oppressive, invasive, automated corporate web advertising? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

But +1 more rep for Cheshire just because I'm nice.

[Vahr 341]

I don't have those - are you sure its not a browser addon (ie a search toolbar?) Cuz it looks like it... "TextEnhance"

[jacksunny 741]

If you don't want to see them anymore, go here.

And by the way, there is nothing wrong with web advertising. I recently read an article about websites that are being forced to shut down because of ad-blockers. People don't see the ads, thus don't click them. That means less money for them, which means they can' afford to pay hosting. You wouldn't want that to happen to Simtropolis, would you

Hey if gets Simtropolis money, I'll be happy to take off the ad blockers and click the ads for a few minutes.

Thanks! I had no idea you could turn those off. I opened up Simtropolis in a different browser and they were not there, but it was after I stopped the ads from showing up in my main browser, and I wasn't signed in. So if it is the browser I have no idea why it would do that. I didn't download anything associated with "test-enhance"

I haven't been here for a whopping 4 years, so I can't really see the difference

Well, you missed this year's conversion from 6 to 7. It was double plus unfunny.
