I was happily browsing the NationStates forums when I noticed an ominous link to the left of "home" on the taskbar entitled "broadband". I clicked the link and I was horrified to see an advertisement for the very Forces of Darkness and Evil Itself - AOHell for Broadband.
Is there any way this can be

Hey Goob, you got a Screen cap of it?
Im not following what you mean "on the taskbar".
Up at the top of the forum, the menu that has profile, register, calendar, etc. now has an ad at the end.

I did, but unlike many I was smart enough not to click it. :)

Well, you know...that ModShop thing confuses me every time. I always think it's an auction of some kind...you know, the kind where I can bid for a Moderator to come clean my room for me. :D

I don't see the link here. I think it's only visible for certain browsers.
