in theory, couldn't "someone" hack the page to give themselves admin privileges?

almost like squatters rights, especially if the site were improved...?

That's...illegal. It is not just illegal: it is criminal. But, yes, it could be done as this forum version is definitely not patched and I am quite certain the server that hosts this place is marginally secure.

Are there things that are illegal but not criminal? I wasn't aware of a distinction.

illegal yes, but if anyone could just go ahead and hack this site to eliminate the popup ads, im sure nobody here would tattle.

I don't get any popups unless I'm not logged in.

wow, i get singing ones, and they totally hijack my phone's browser...

Indeed.

But, to be "that guy", who pays for the electricity on the server in Texas? Who pays for the name (there's a fee you have to pay for that)? Who pays for the hardware maintenance?

I am okay with ads on the website. Even "smart ads" that advertise things relevant to the information on the page (such as...in the Naruto thread, it will sometimes advertise Naruto books and funimation merchandise). But I am not okay with audio ads. GTFO, audio ads.

I believe there is one for Chrome: not-script. Not-Script is the most granular scripting program I have used for a browser. It is incredible. You can see how sneaky some websites get with their website scripting because they run the scripts without DNS (name resolution) and it just shows up as an IP on the list (making you guess which scripts are legit and which are ads).

The "old dog new tricks" idiom is a lie!

Heh. Don't get elitist on me. Anything that isn't IE is acceptable. If they're still running IE, Firefox is the easiest transition.
