We are currently experiencing a flood of requests from bots scraping the forums. Unfortunately it has gotten to the point where it is negatively impacting the site. As a result the forums may be slow and you may periodically experiance an error message.
We are aware of the problem and apologize for the inconvenience.
Wrong section, you can't advertise forums, (End, Minimodz) and one should not need to get a pop up blocker to visit one site, which is lame anyway. ¬¬ (Although the dog pics are cute... >>; )
