Mitchell Hundred Master Bruce Wayne Wow. Looks like for once I was not the most inebriated guild member. I resent that! I think I put a lot of time and effort into being the guild drunkard. mad Perhaps if you began spiking your beers with catnip?

Is anyone else starting to get warnings about Gaia? Lately (let's say 1 times out of 10), my computer warns me that something on Gaia is trying to load something evil (virus:HEUR:Trojan:script:Iframer, so I'm betting it's something embedded in one of the ads). My computer is armed to the teeth now, so I'm not worried, but this is a troubling development.
Is there a screening process around here or do they just let people put whatever they want up?

You might be getting triggers from the ads, Gaia seems to refresh them once a month and does not/is unable to vet them before putting them live on the site. (They rely on users to report the bad ones....you can guess how effective that is)
Do you have adblock and flashblock? Are you running Firefox?

I loath firefox, it's such a slow brower. I'm on Chrome and sometimes IE. I don't generally run an adblock on Chrome. I know they're coming from the ads because they're listed as Iframer. I just find it amazing that suddenly they're all popping up. Does Gaia just take on any ad that wants space, no matter what? In sadder news, Gary Coleman died today

The way I understand the ads, is that they are run by an ad company. Gaia's not approving specific ads. So... when one is reported, Gaia has to go to the ad company.
re: Gary Coleman: I heard he was in the hospital, but.. That's sad. He seemed to be kind of a miserable person in recent years. Not to mention, that he had health problems from the time he was very young.

Not to mention, that he had health problems from the time he was very young. I can't really report the ads actually, my software blocks them from being loaded and writes me a report about it. I have to go into the reports and fish out the specific location of the ad, which is part Gaia address, part source. Sadly, I can't copy/paste the location, I'd have to type the whole thing out, which is monsterous.

Oh yeah, it's definitely a bunch of BS that the users have to police Gaia's ads. The office should find a better ad company, or something they have more control over, so these problems wouldn't happen (if such a kind of ad company exists? )

They've changed ad companies sometime within the last three months, though I don't know if that made things worse or better.

I couldn't say. This is the first time I recall Gaia specifically appearing as a warning site, but that doesn't mean they weren't also in the past.

Anyone else not seeing usernames over our avatars in threads in the Guild?
Also, 
edit: Nevermind, it's a sort of glitch with flash.

We hit the St Louis Ren Faire today. Good gravy, it was hot. My favorite thing was Adam Crack, whipcracker. He used a flame whip which launched a fireball when he cracked it. But being a Castlevania nerd, I was more excited that he used a chainmail whip to slash an unopened can of carbonated water in half. I wanted to shout, "TAKE THAT MEDUSA HEAD!"

I have a video of the whipcracker's "ending" trick. He holds 8 Guiness World Records! I'll post links to some of the pictures a bit later and see if I can get that video on youtube. Right now, I'm recovering. I'm still not 100% healthwise, but I've only been taking the Lexapro for 4 days. It gets better each day, so I do wonder if indeed some of these chest issues were anxiety related.
eek
Also something I learned from attending these Ren Fairs. It's basically an excuse for very very large women to wear corsets that are cinched up so much that it gives them this CRAZY unnatural body shape. If your titties are literally IN your face or you have "back boobs", it's time to uncinch that a little. I mean, there are ways for fat girls to wear bustiers and not look icky. 1: wear a shirt underneath (like a short sleeved, off the shoulder peasant top.. just please cover your stretch marks and back acne.. gonk ) and don't cinch the thing quite so much. Let the dang thing hug your curves, not cut you in half.
Ick. I'm fat too, but I'd be embarrassed to look like some of these ladies did in their corsets.
