Oh neat, I often randomly browse the site in Spanish for kicks and to help improve my grasp of the language. =D

Whee! Now I live in Japan and am browsing the site in Japanese! Can't read Japanese, but it's a good excuse to get cracking on my self-taught lessons! -^____^-
Yosh! Let's get to it!

Anyways. The banners are gone.

Hooray!

oh wow, that would be a nice place to live!

Errmm...trust me. Just because it looks nice doesn't mean it is. If you lived in New Zealand like I do you'd know of a recent..."issue" which I cannot discuss of PPT since it'd be something that would get me instantly banned probably

*sigh* It was so fun watching everybody migrate over here to New Zealand in about 15 seconds

Then of course Neo befouled my country by putting their ads here

EDIT : To clarify, the 'rule breaking to mention in detail' happened in Pitcairn Islands, not New Zealand. New Zealanders know about it as it was updated each night for ages (The court case etc)

That's how I realised. I usually put it in French to help me learn, and I always notice that it takes ages for them to implement anything new in other languages, let's hope it takes them a while, especially since the top banners aren't visible either.

Heh, I notice a lot of PPTers chatting in the other languages =P

Pour de vrai = keeping it real. I did not know that

Errr... Changing the language is a bad thing if you want to do some shopping. It is almost impossible to use the wiz unless you know the language or just plain get lucky.

I think what's most disheartening is the quality of the ads. For example:

Like I give a flying smurf about that. And I don't want a "free" iPod in excange for 1,426 spams-a-day. Rather irritating to me. I think I will finally go get firefox, cuz I'll be smurfed if I'm going to pay for premium.
