Maybe this Firefox extension might help.

I wonder when Facebook will recommend Travis Munroe as a Facebook friend, since I'm on here so much and that banner (and the sig keeps coming up and Facebook will probably find some way to link the sites I browse.

There are ads on CP? I honestly never knew that. Maybe I should disable adblock for this site so the forum owners can get some more ad revenue.

I don't have adblock, but at the same time I never notice advsertising on the internet. I think I've just conditioned myself to ignore it. I had no idea who Travis Munroe was until I read the post and then searcherd for the advert. I've always wondered how many people are clicking on these banner ads for so many people and sites to be so lucrative just due to advertising revenues.

Travis has more than just a banner ad; he sponsors the Realtor 1 Real Estate subforum in Off-Topic.

But I hear you...I'm surprised banner ads work as well but apparently they do.
