I think PeteW1971 would have made a really good Mod, what are your thoughts on this?
My first thought is your bottle of rhum must be near-empty.

Though Pete was a cool dude and we all mourn his passing, I can't get behind the idea of elevating privileges to an account which may still be accessible to others (such as surviving family), nor is it in my best interests to tamper with an account with the knowledge that person has passed. The possibility of any death being investigated as a criminal matter is very real, and nothing good could possibly result by making unauthorized changes to it.

If you are not blocking that (unnecessary) content, it means each time you load a page there, you are downloading about twice the amount of data than a comparable page here, and from 15-20 different sources. On a typical high speed connection, this difference is usually negligible, but you certainly notice the difference.

This is why CF fields so many complaints of distributing malware too. They have no control of what those remote connections are serving you. IB will sell ad space to literally anyone, and once someone has that space, they can do just about anything with it. Think back to how Apex changed his pictures after he was banned there...It's basically the same concept...His photos occupied space on that forum, and he was able to change them after he was banned from the site. He didn't (and couldn't) edit his posts, he changed the content remotely.

Though few may appreciate it, you'll find none of that bullshit here. You are currently connected to only one domain; thevettebarn.com. There are no ads, no trackers, no analytics, almost no 3rd party scripts. The only remote content you'll find here is user-posted...Links, hotlinked pictures and videos.
Sure there's plenty of javascript elements in use here, but rather than call those scripts from remote sources at the time of page loading, in most cases I download the actual script file, examine the code, and then I upload and host that script on our server.
Not only does that add reliability and speed up page loading, but more importantly, that script can never change or become compromised unless I upload a new or different version of it. You may never notice details like this, but it does make a difference.

So which UD ERA is this where such a post is not accompanied by pictures of Lake and Latina?
