Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the humorous concept of "thread killers" on a forum, where participants analyze who tends to end conversations with their posts. The top offenders identified include franznietzsche, Moonbear, and tribdog, with a playful tone suggesting a competition for the title of "thread killer." Participants debate the validity of counting last posts as a measure of thread-killing ability, arguing that it should be adjusted based on the total number of posts each user has made. The conversation shifts into a light-hearted narrative, likening thread-killing to a horror movie scenario, with participants playfully accusing each other of sabotaging discussions and attempting to "steal" the thread. The banter includes references to fictional scenarios involving dramatic rescues and humorous characterizations, maintaining a light and comedic atmosphere throughout.

Get http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ and if you are using IE I suggest you switch to Mozilla Firefox or Opera - depending on how much memory you have (if less than 512 I'd go with Opera, if over go with Firefox)

Yeah, I think it's adware. Any idea how to get rid of it? I tried a few online programs and they search for the added files but won't delete them until I purchase their product. Is there a truly free one out there? Hmm, prolly not. :cry:
I think it was that cheap anime floosie.
Yep, that's very likely. have you tried ad-aware?

Most of it. I suppose I should have put one of these ( :rolleyes: ) in my thank-you post, but I figured it was obvious. :redface:

A little story is in order. A few years ago Moonbear received the letter in her mailbox which changed her life forever http://carboninside.com/16.gif


Before she used to fight with her colleages to get into the only bathroom available on the floor http://carboninside.com/41.gif,[/URL] and the battle wasnt always in her favor http://carboninside.com/2.gif

But now she found out she got a tenure! http://carboninside.com/45.gif
It seems her sleepless nights devoted to prayer have been answered http://carboninside.com/47.gif,[/URL] and now her creativity can really take off http://carboninside.com/34.gif as she can stay in her new lab all week long http://carboninside.com/44.gif
[/URL]

:smile: That's a really great story! :biggrin:

Anyone want a kitten? I've got two living under my deck. I've seen the mom cat around a lot lately, but never noticed the kittens before, so had no idea that's why she's been around so much. The kittens are really cute, but I can't get at them (they hide up close by the house I think, or maybe in the little space under the concrete slab that used to be a patio that apparently pre-dated the deck).

:smile: That's a funny one! And there are definitely days when I could really use that Doh smiley too! Those dancing prairie dogs are adorable. There's even a smurf smilie! I was looking for a skunk one for Ivan, but didn't see any among the animals, though I was looking rather quickly.

Hmm, I ran the ad aware program like 10 times. Things kept popping up and hijacking my browswer, or whatever it's called. I noticed some files that were very persistent and would be there every time I did a scan. They were called atomni or something and it said nouninstallers. Then there was a long list of toolbar files. I can't get rid of them. :mad:

Looks like it may be time to buy some new software.

Go out and by Norton Anti-virus, it will detect spyware and adware, if it can't delete the files automatically, it will link you to their site where they have tools to uninstall the stuff and worse case, instructions on how to do a manual delete.

I found this on Symantec's website "Adware.Adtomi is a stock tracking program that will display pop-up advertisements in the background."

See if you have "websearch" on your computer, it's obnoxious. It sounds like you may have an assortment of adware.

Well, I keep saying I want to hear a new sound in music. On the Tonight Show tonight, I just heard it...someone rapping to country music. :bugeye: Yep, it was different. :rolleyes:

I see a trip to a computer shop in my future. Yeah, I neeed to get Norton's. This is ridiculous. It just started today too.

The worst popup is the spyware warnings. Every 30 seconds or so they interrupt me.

SOS, that movie is awesome!

So that's where you've been spending all your time lately. How long did that take you?

I always want to read people's links (well, most of them), but I don't dare turn my back on anyone here long enough to. I always come back to find about 30 new posts to go through.

That is so wrong that I can't think of anything to say. Unless two things that hideous can cancel each other out and be good, like sodium and chlorine.

Those are both terrific! You should have hired better actors to dub the voices, though. The lip sync is way off.

How do you get the link to those? (it just tells me to email it to someone)

It reminded me a bit of the Hamster Dance music. Okay, it wasn't quite as awful as I made it sound. I don't think I'd run out and buy the album, but I at least give them credit for not doing more of the same thing everyone else does.

I emailed it to myself. I gave it one of my junkmail catching addresses since I don't know if it's going to result in a lot of spam being sent my way.

Beauty! It's amazing how close you got that facial hair to what mine was like before I started shaving. Good dialogue, too. :biggrin:

I'm still trying to get that damned badger thing out of my head; I don't even want to know what the Hamster Dance is.
