The Apolyton Curse strikes again! Or is it only a phantom? Suffering from ads?

Sorry for the long title....

Anyhow, I found this thread to be unreachable:
http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum23/HTML/018353.html?26

It was entitled "Planetarion" (sp?)

Or is it just a temporary thing?

Tired of ads?

I think it is just the fact that the long threads are posted to more often, since the curse apparently only strikes when a thread is posted to.

Fair enough... I would complain that other posters have been allowed to get away with threads about their signatures, but the admin here isn't exactly reknowned for its consistancy.

Tatics like having a big monitor, sensitive forum topic areas and threads open in multiple windows, with periodic automatic refresh, broadband connection to handle that. Or you could go the low tech route by keeping a cohort of infromer the message you about anything "interesting". Or my preffered solution (still working on the details) of becoming omniscient.
