I SEE IT EVERYWHERE! How do I make it go away? It's all like "Have this ad removed by registering!" but...I'm already registered...help?

Yeah, I'm seeing it too, what the heck is that?????

Travis is doing some upgrades to the board. I'm sure he will explain everything soon enough. I've been getting a few random errors in places too, so I'm sure it's all the same thing


I'm thinking it will work like this, you can get the ads removed if you sign up for a membership or sponsorship to the board. Travis may be putting some kind of donation scheme in place.

But you know, I'm not Travis and I'm just taking a wild guess

I'm also seeing some random PHP errors. Don't break the board Travis!

Think it's on everyones...I wouldn't sweat it...the admin just need to screen and block BOTS! lol

It's actually an advertisment bot and it isn't a person. It's something that Travis has manually added by himself

I was aware of that! I mean you can block BOTS through changing registering info..
I've done it on my own page before so I know!

Bloody pain in the butt mind you!

Oh. You're talking to someone who isn't the sharpest pencil in the box sometimes I wasn't aware that you could do that

Lol...it's alright I didn't know until I had a job that involved having to know this ICT rubbish!! lol

I know HTML, PHP, Perl and I'm Microsoft qualified...but ad bots stump me. Figures

so glad to know i'm not the only one being attacked by the cook bot...

I like cookbot
rofl

same here.......

Yo! I'm over the Bot. Scrubbing my registry now . . .

hey, travis. What gives with the bot?

it's kinda annoying. we can get rid of it?

I. SWEAR. IT'S. STALKING. ME.

it's just to help...it doesn't really make money, but anything to help pay for the site...it appears after every first post...the company says i have to keep it somewhat near the top...

i tried adding the bot and cook picture to make it less appealing? i don't know

Travis, define "after every first post"? After each members' first post of the day? That would explain why we're seeing it so much.

I'm still running my scrub . . .

It's after every first post on a new topic, or on a new page.

awww. well if it's for the site, i guess it's okay. and thanks for putting david's pic on it. it does help

Travis... thanks!

So it's true, it is stalking me. Fabulous!

oooo can you make the cook bot dance? that would be cool.

*looks up* Heyyyy! Look at that! A Cook Bot that boogies to David Cook! SWEET!

Hey travis, Cassandra's gonna get a KICK out of this....you know how much she's in love with him! heehee

I kinda have a crush on Cookbot.

yeah lol i was like "ok...." the first time i kept seeing it lol

Not only does Cookbot cause me to chuckle but it reminds me of one our awesome mods, Cass! I miss you, girl!

I LOVE the Cook Bot. He's my digital boyfriend.

And the picture from Billie Jean? Amazing. I think it's cute. And hey, if it helps out Travis I'm not complaining.


Cookbot+Meganbrianna=<3

i must admit that i do too...i've seen him so much lately that ive grown partial to him!

i can try to make it dance but wouldn't that get annoying too?

Well, travis, I think that answer depends upon which one you're talking about making dance -- the cook or the bot!

Somethin' tells me that if The Cook were to shake his money maker like in "Please Don't Stop the Music," the D-C.org-ers might not mind. The bot . . . not nearly enticing in a dance. But hey, what'd I know?

BTW, scrubbing my registry *totally* helped!

Yeah, somehow I don't think the bot would have the same effect.

at first, i thought it's like a virus or something
nyahaha!!
i see it everywhere too!

Hey Cook Bot! *waves* How are ya? You know, I think I'm kinda falling in love with you.

it's kool now that I now it has a legitimate reason for being here!He is kinda of cute...but that 80's Mr Robto song keeps popping in my head now..lol!

Very funny! I don't mind it now either since it's a legit part of the site! I was afraid some "outsider" had sneaked in here to make a little money off of our obsession! Heaven knows there will be plenty of those!

Spot on there ROFL
