|  "How to kill those ads in the MMCafe BBS"
, posted Fri 15 Feb 10:13
Found a way which works for me. See if it works for you too!
But this technique won't remove the ad; just prevents it from loading.
For Windows users only, sorry!
1) Create a new shortcut
2) For the shortcut's command line, enter the following:
%windir%\SYSTEM32\notepad.exe %windir%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\etc\hosts
If all goes well, you will create a shortcut which has a notepad icon
3) Double click on your new shortcut to open it. Whoa, looks technical!
4) You will see a line which states:
127.0.0.1 localhost
What you have to do is type 127.0.0.2 in the lines beneath the above, followed by any site you want to "disable".
For example, to disable the ad banners in the MMCafe, your file would look like:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 adcontent.gamespy.com
127.0.0.2 st.valueclick.com
Don't have to type the full address of the ad banners, just the primary URL like I did above.
And feel free to add other sites which you want to disable such as doubleclick.com,
ad.doubleclick.net, etc.
The Power is YOURS!
