    Small price to pay for the freedom to say anything you want, within reason of course

    You soon will see them everywhere. Its a joke to have them added to your posts, it makes your points seem like cheap ads.

    I will switch to another site if they continue.

    My thoughts are free so I don't see how you can advertise in them...

    I'm sure the policy on here from Mick has been: If you don't like it then you're welcome to **** right off. <ok>

    I don't see a problem with it, personally.
    A few words turn a different colour occasionally?
    No other adverts for members and it pays for the site.
    Fair trade, in my opinion.

    I don't mind adverts, but sticking adverts into your post is taking it a bit too far...

    I know its free but we don't have to share our thought on here...

    Good points on both sides, but I don't see what this thread has to do with the Illuminati or Irish Politics.

    Skimwords are a Zionist invention, designed to brainwash us all into submission. The NWO are in there somewhere too, as well as the WWE and DVLA.

    Maybe I'm missing something, which is likely, but what adverts are you talking about?

    When one or more of the words in your posts becomes a hyperlink which when clicked will send you to ebay or Amazon. So someone might be talking about Michael Jackson, and his name in their post will turn blue.

    How do you get this to work ? I never have blue words in my adidas like posts but then I don't post from Tesco. While I'm on the point of GoCompare what has happened to sensodyne

    No probs twaticus <ok>

    I saw one the other day where someone had written something like "when he stepped up to take that penalty, I knew he'd miss". The take that bit became a hyperlink to a play.com page where you could buy Take That's latest album. Needless to say, a copy's winging its way to Casa del Stam as we speak :cool:
