Are you tired of seeing ATA's annoying avatar/signature? 1) Get Firefox. It's the best alternative to Internet Explorer (with over 221.5 million downloads worldwide)... You can download Firefox from their website, http://www.getfirefox.com/
2) When you have Firefox installed, point Firefox to this address https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/ (This is a direct-link to a Firefox plug-in from the Firefox website. It's called Adblock Plus. It will not only block pop-ups and annoying advertisements but you have the option to manually block anything you don't want to see.)
3) Download the plug-in by clicking Install Now... Wait a few seconds and you'll see the Install button.. Click it. The extension will download and install... Then it will say to restart Firefox... Just close all the Firefox windows you have open and restart Firefox.
4) Now to block ATA's avatar and signature, go to one of his many posts about "how we are all going to burn in hell if we don't believe what he believes" and right click his avatar and click Adblock Image and click OK... Now do the same to his signature...
5) You're all done! No more seeing that annoying masturbating pastor or that RaptureReady banner... You'll now see this...
This is a must download... Do yourself a favor and make the IDU forum less of a nuisannce to visit by blocking ATA's avatar and signature from your sight. I'm sure a lot of you will find this useful... Especially Clint & Mummy ;)

Thanks Alaska :D
I don't know why I haven't installed Firefox on my 'puter yet - am downloading it right now :twisted:
Goodbye Crazy Browser - YAY!
Thanks again!

I have firefox but It doesn't give me the option of "adblock".

I have firefox but It doesn't give me the option of "adblock".
That's because you need to download the extension... I provided it for you in Step #2. Just open that URL up, click Install Now, a window will pop up with a button that says Install... Wait for it to be clickable (it will be greyed out for 3 seconds) then click it... It will download, then it will say you need to Restart Firefox for changes to take effect... Close all Firefox windows and restart...
Then block his avatar and sig by right clicking on it and click Adblock Image and click OK.

WOWEE WOW WOW WOW. Just downloaded it and that's all I have to say.
Good job Alaska!!!
It's Like Tivo for your CPU!
Alaska- 09-28-2006
I'm glad you like it... Firefox is 100% customizable... You can tweak it, you can add on to it.. It's the best web browser there is... and with the Adblock+ extension, no more ATA0's avatars or sigs... EVER :)

Alaska is the man... I once asked him a general question about an erotic cartoon, and he gave me a zip file with the whole booklet
I've noticed that Firefox is faster, but I still use IE for some reason.
The default font looks good on "Largest" in IE, and you have to work to get it right in Firefox.
And I like the way the Favorites folder folds out in IE, the overall look of the browser.
Another thing is that I don't like cheap fashionable fads. For example I've disliked cellphones since they became a mass-consumed item around year 2000.
And for the past couple of years it seems like everybody's been lauding Firefox, so I like to do the opposite.
So I like to do the contrarian thing, ya dig.
During the Gulf War of 1991 when everybody condemned Iraq, I wanted to go fight for Saddam. Then in 1998 when the world was against bombing Iraq, I was like "Go for it, fuck them up" .
And now that everybody's concerned about the loss of life in Iraq, I'm rooting for attacks on the salibiyeen wal murtadeen.
So anyway, use Explorer lol

Wow! A whole book of pictures that depict things like Fred Flintstone having sex with furry wolf-people. What a great guy.

Yes, the cell phone is fad. It obviously has no value, and in 5 years, no one will be using them. People only have them as a fashion statement, anyway. :roll:

So you put stock in Alex Chiu because the whole world has decried him as a nutcase? Great logic there, Jag. You should hyperventilate into a bag of asbestos too, since everyone knows that it causes cancer. You'll show them.
So anyway, use Explorer lol
Internet Explorer is the worst virus you could put on your computer.

Er.. no. You don't sound very educated in the field of adult comix.
Yes, he is a good dude as he didn't have to help me find that title and upload it, yet he did

Decades ago, mobile phones did have value. Today, they are the most worthless product imaginable and every peasant owns several.
Maybe if you buy a super-expensive one, that wouldn't be disgusting.
But most of them cost like $0 and it's pretty annoying. I see schoolchildren using them all the time.
So you put stock in Alex Chiu because the whole world has decried him as a nutcase?
No, but there is a proverb:
If half the people say X, and half the people say Y, either group could be right.
If 75% of people say X, and 25% say Y, it's more likely that the 75% are correct.
However: if only 1 person says X, and everybody else says Y, it's 100% certain that the 1 person is right.
People who believe that the eternal life device reverses aging are in the minority, but they are in such an extreme minority that the above rule applies.
Internet Explorer is the worst virus you could put on your computer.
I'm not having any problems. I never use any protection either.
I'm getting another PC next week and I intend to raise it on IE
Clint902- 09-28-2006
Yep, I got it working and Ato's obsene avartar is gone for good I hope!

I always thought the value of a cell phone was that it could let you communicate over long distances while mobile. Now you are telling me the real value of a cell phone is to inflate your ego? Now I see what attracts you so much to Alex chiu products. The mainstream will never use them so you will always be able to look down on others at how pathetically non type II they are. Sweet!
However: if only 1 person says X, and everybody else says Y, it's 100% certain that the 1 person is right.

There is always a chance the 1 person is right...but 100%? Do you really seriously believe this? How could you accept this as true using any sort of logic.
So according to this if I claimed the ghost of Dracula was always walking beside me I would be right because everyone else would say it wasnt true.
This must be some of that unique type II person logic that the rest of us cant comprehend yet.

That's the most idiotic, fallacious reasoning I've ever heard. By your logic, if I say 1 + 1 = 6, I'm the one who is right. So let's take a quick inventory of the some of the "right" people in the world:
Jeffrey Dahmer
Gene Ray
John Wayne Gacy
Schizophrenics
Crazy people you see on the street
etc.
It's obvious that for whatever reason you don't like conforming to mainstream opinions (maybe your ego is such that you don't want to be associated with what the 'commoners' do), but don't try to argue that you do this on logical grounds. What you just said its totally ridiculous. True, the mainstream opinion is sometimes wrong, but it often makes perfect fucking sense. Your ham-fisted extremist position makes you a total sucker for moronic ideas, and it would benefit you to be more rational lest you repeatedly jump to asinine conclusions based on knee-jerk reactions.

Hey, if he decides to change his sig and avatar and it shows up again... It only takes two clicks of the mouse and it's gone for good and he'll never know you blocked it ;)

Jaguar, become a christian, I tell you now that not many people are at all christian, if you are a trend bucker, then join christianity.
Jesus would be so happy to know that you're trying to get people to become Christian for image reasons.
Jaguar b. p.- 09-29-2006
become a christian
I don't believe in the supernatural, only in physical matter controlled by numbers.
So if you say there is a person called Jesus, my conclusion would be that he is dead, since you are unable to point out his location.
In Islam, Jesus is considered a Muslim and a prophet who died and is going to the 7th level of Paradise.
So whether you revere him or not, it's pretty obvious that he's currently dead.
If he did in fact exist, I have little doubt that he will be resurrected when technology allows.
