One small banner at the top, and one small banner at the bottom, with an option to get rid of them completely if you pay $6 a month (which, by the way, any user here is able to pay) is a pretty good deal for the service with which they are providing us. HINT HINT, Y'ALL! I'll allow it.

Most of the ads I get are for ProBoards itself. I guess they don't know what to try to sell me.

Those of you who've been to one of our CBR Northwest Emerald City Comics Convention dinners will be sad to hear that we're losing the Hurricane Cafe. It will be gone for good, razed to the ground, by the time the next ECCC rolls around. One of the last of the oldtime 24-hour restaurants, where you could get a great, affordable omelette or steak any old time, the Hurricane had been great about accommodating the horde of noisy geeks who descended on them every year. I loved the food and the atmosphere. It's going to be hard to find another place as convenient or as budget-friendly.
Sigh.
I hate change.
Cei-U! What do we do now, Rob???

OK... I tried to support the site by disabling ad-block on it, only to immediately get a talking ad on the site that I could not even find at fist because it was somewhat hidden in the bottom right corner. Very annoying and intrusive.

For now, anyway - they'll probably figure me out eventually. Computers are tireless. By the way, of all the former members of the Dead, the one who has grown creatively the most is Mickey Hart. His band's last two albums and live shows over the last few years are just superb.

Very annoying and intrusive. I love and support the site by posting and interacting as much as I can. But I don't wanna disable ad blocker for this reason. Because ya never know when an ad will pop up.

What the hell? Maybe you folks can help me understand something. About 20 minutes ago a neighbor was screaming for help. I ran over to her house to discover that her husband was having a seizure. She was on the phone with dispatcher for the paramedics. I went to wait outside to direct them to the correct house. An ambulance arrives a couple of houses down and just sits there parked. I try to direct them to the correct house, but they refuse to move. I run up to the ambulance tell them about the medical emergency, but they tell me WE'RE GOING TO WAIT FOR THE POLICE/FIRE DEPARTMENT TO ARRIVE FIRST SO THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN OKAY? I didn't say another word and calmly walked away confused. Moments later when I personally called and asked the dispatcher why the ambulance personnel had to wait, it couldn't be disclosed. Meanwhile a wife is upstairs with her husband's life in jeopardy. There is nothing they people in the ambulance could have done? What kind of protocol is that because that doesn't always happen in that situation since I've been in a couple of more with my grandmother. Is this a Redwood City thing? Does not compute. Luckily the guy seems like he's going to make it. This time.

They probably aren't allowed to enter the house first, in case some nut who wants to shoot public servants for tresspassing on his property is inside.
