I know I'm not the only one who finds them annoying.

1. Install Adblock Plus for Chrome (or something similar for another browser)
http://adblockplus.org/en/

2. Block elements


3. Enjoy the game thread

How to annoy people with game thread memes:

1. Reupload under a different file name

2. Post in game threads for the lulz

I know you were just making a joke, but before anyone tries this let me explain why its ineffective

it takes less than a second to right click and block something. it takes the other person a lot longer to upload somewhere else and post again. it wouldn't annoy me if someone uploaded it somewhere else because it takes no effort to block.

Asking if its that big a deal implies that it takes some kind of effort to block

its not a huge deal, but its annoying enough to take the fraction of a second it takes to right-click and block

I do this as well. It's still semi annoying that most of the first pages of any of our game threads are nothing but memes. Most of them made me laugh at one point in time but it just got old.

I appreciate dtownral's effort here.

Pretty much the mods need to just suspend Burro for being a fucking asshole and this thread would not be needed. Who cares about some damn rules? If the majority of users in a forum want a user suspended, then suspend that user.

I don't find aaronburro's meme annoying. But now, whenever he tries to post his thoughts in ST, I just skip over them because I take nothing he says seriously or expect it to have any substance.

Dude is an idiot.

Full disclosure: I hate it. If it was up to me I'd suspend anyone who posted the same stupid meme in every game thread in a heartbeat and never unlock them.

But a decision was made a long time ago on here to allow that kind of boorish shit so there is nothing that can be done. If I suspended burro then next time we get a big recruiting signing why shouldn't I suspend those who post dancing GIFs or any other picture?

because burro is being an ass just to be an ass.

dancing gifs are not the problem. And if they were dancing W's I don't think they'd piss people off.
