    I just realized all the little flash animation sponsor boxes that used to be at the top of the page are all gone. I'm just curious as to what happened to them, since they're the main source of monetary support for the site, right?

    Huh. I might have changed something with my Firefox browser or Flash drivers. Oh well, the sponsors not being there probably helps my computer run a little faster anyway.

    If you loaded up an ad blocker it likely blocked them from showing up. And yes, the presence of sponsor banners helps to keep this site alive.

    Ah, that explains it. I've got Firefox running in "safe" mode or something.

    Yeah, I've encountered the same thing on my laptop, it's a browser security thing since they're showing fine on my desktop.
