Look I understand this is a business but you need to quit putting advertizments like this in the forums. Everytime i click to look at something dumb starfy comes up and keeps me from looking at the page for 10 seconds. This is really dumb and your making me want to stop using forum. If they want to advertize then make it so you have to click on it, we should not be forced into looking at the game for 8 year olds. PLEASE FIX THIS.

Try this if you are using firefox Tools > Options > Content > Load Images automatically > Exceptions > Speed.pointroll.com > Block

It is a very annoying ad, I almost left the forums until someone posted this in a reply to another thread.

That worked for me, and I prefer this method to disabling the flash player, which also worked.

Workarounds ftw!

Off-topic: I wonder if that is why my cat didn't come home last night.

Lol. I like the way you think. <3 I've seen that Starfy commercial on TV, and everytime I do, I shiver and reach for the remote control to change the channel.

Indeed! Let us celebrate the death of Starfy.

Yah the first time.
Then it gets really annoying.
Plus, why would os advertise something that will make some people not spend money on spark cash.

Phew...3 pages and no Starfey. *Keeps an eye out for that sneaky critter*

Anyways, please refer to the threads in the Website Issues section about this, as this is not Fiesta related. We've already reported this to the staff and it should be resolved soon.

And as stated above, OS does not choose which ads come up. They use a service that will place ads up for them, but if anything like this happens or if something inappropriate is being used as an ad, just report it so it can be dealt with.

Thanks.
