I don't know how many of you frequent message boards hosted on Boardhost.com, but recently they have changed their format to include a significant amount of ads, including pop-ups. As many of you who use Windows know, Panicware's Pop-Up Stopper is very effective in killing ad pop-ups. I personally don't mind banners or non-intrusive ads, but it seems many sites, including Boardhost, are getting pretty intrusive. That's why I use it.
Well, I went and posted a message to Boardhost in response to complaints about the excessive pop-ups now present. When I typed in the word "panicware.com" to direct them to the website that could stop pop-ups, and hit the post button, when I read my post THE WEBSITE WAS GONE! In other words, "http://www.panicware.com." turned out to be "http://www.."!!! Only by finally typing "panicwaré dot calm" did the thing come out on a follow-up post.
Personally, I think this is going too far in trying to prevent people from attempting to access these sites. Foul language, I can understand. Deleting something that may be libelous to someone, fine. But a website address? Has anyone else noticed this on any other message boards, or on Boardhost?
