I just recieved an email from lycos telling me that they have changed the way they use ads on our sites, for the better, that people would be able to view my site in a less obstructive way. So I visited my site to see how they had changed it, and as well as having a banner on the right of my frames, they also had one on the main frame (tripod/lycos) and 2 popups!!! Improvement my arse!!!

note: This post had no actual meaning, just a rant and rave about everything kind of thing.

Dont use lycos. Even Geocities is better than that.

use bravenet if you don't use hotlinking

Lycos is a nightmare. Tripod is just as bad. Geocities is a little teensy bit better. *shrug*

I don't want to change my adress again. I had no problem with lycos before, the ads seem to load some times and not other times. I have had no other problems with it yet.
