	For those who haven't been banned yet, here's a simple trick to eliminate the ads on the ddo website(s). Add the following line to your hosts. file in Windows. 127.0.0.1 ads.intergi.com Soo nice not seeing their ads pop up on every page.

I haven't seen an ad on any website for years with that combo

	Works great. Thanks! For those of you who don't know, here's the path to the Hosts file: C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc Find the file called "Hosts" in the etc directory, open it up with Notepad and then copy and paste the line Joe User suggested in it. Then go to File and then Save it.

	I prefer no-script. It allows me to see only the site content that I've decided to trust, not the site content that the site (with different motives than myself) has decided to trust.

	Yeah, this one is specific to the ads hosted on the DDO site.� Crap the mvp list is huge.� I've seen problems by mass-blocking ads on other sites, but to each their own.� I use remote desktop to read ads so their annoying animation on eveyr single page was getting out of control.� Figured I'd share. Oh, and since instructions about how to edit the hosts file vary in every version of windows I figured I'd give you the info, if you need help knowing what to do with it let me know.
