Seems on par for this country. Don't vote, then complain when you don't like how things turn out.

Good one. I wasn't even aware there was a vote on this until I made this thread. Like I said, next time I will be sure to study the announcement section.

What is so annoying about these particular ads? The web as you know it is driven by advertisers. Folks don't want to pay for content but they complain when someone else picks up the tab. I own a fairly large website and I run relevant ads with pride. The ads have kept the site growing and thousands have benefitted from the services my site offers just like you have benefitted from using evoM. Cry babies... Why don't you start your own free ad-less website and see how long it lasts.

No, it definitly had to do with Evos. It's just that they weren't being sold in the US market at the time.

Please leave the name calling out of things. I can understand why people dislike the ads. Mouseover popups and hyperlinks over certain words can be bothersome, and certainly not the most delightful to look at. In fact, I personally dislike them. However, I understand that we, as a community, have a symbiotic relationship with Mitsubishi, so if, by lending them a hand, we can help them out and give a little something back so that they can give us something in the future. There's a degree reciprocity that benefits both sides, and I think this falls under that category.

And by the way, sorry if that reads a little weird. I'm sleep-deprived, and I'm starting to feel loopy.

I agree with Hobbles, and let me add this:
I'm here checking threads and posts all day. I have yet to find that these things adversely interfere with how I interact with the forums. All it takes is a bit of attention to what you're doing and what you're clicking on, and you'll be fine.

It seems like the only word that triggers the intellitext is "car".

and any lancer related acronyms... i.e. "es" for the lancer es.

funny when someone types *****es it makes me giggle.

"car", "vehicle", "lancer" It's my bad though. I'm not being careful enough when using my pointer to follow along with sentences... what a pita

Please people try to avoid these three words, posted above, in your threads / posts.

thx
