It's not about ads, really. I have it disabled globally mainly because my computer is a toaster and it causes severe performance hits (for example, I sometimes got to 100% CPU just with three RPN tabs opened), and also because it's one of the biggest infection vectors in modern browsers.
It's...
Alright, that post had several line breaks, but it showed up like that for some reason. In addition, after trying to quote it, I found some paragraph tags that shouldn't be there (I haven't removed them, so they should be visible in this post). This never happened before, so I assume it is...
I have JavaScript disabled globally, and whenever I try open up the post form (or even the Quick Reply post form), all I get is the expected page, but with an invisible text box. Of course, this makes impossible posting unless you are willing to re-enable JavaScript or opening up the dev mode to...

despite already being naturally quite strong, Charles' body is capable of absorbing the magic of any spells thrown at him (or even the residual magic of...
Huge amounts of ammonia, lots of bleach, some flasks of sulfuric acid, similar quantities of hydrochloric acid, a tiny bit of yttrium... Natalya wondered what could a cleansing company need yttrium for, but she was not one to complain. This, along other 138 unnamed products, would be enough for...
The stereotypical roleplay includes a regular high school with no redeeming qualities whatsoever other than all classes being fighting classes with different names.
Alternatively, classes start in one neverending week.
OC was probably coined inside the world of fanfiction, where crossovers between Sonic characters and totally-not-a-self-insert recolors of Sonic were the norm.
The word OC is often used inside franchise-based roleplays or crossover roleplays as it helps distinguishing completely original...
Gravity is not electromagnetic, although it is true both do more or less the same and can be calculated with similar equations.
Gravity is believed to be caused by distortions in spacetime, according to relativity, or by gravitons, according to more modern theories. Electromagnetism is more...
Actually, the Earth's magnetic field is caused by the activity of its core, thanks to a phenomenon explained by the Dynamo theory.

The nerd observed the elite sniper squad from the distance. She hadn't "upgraded" her eyes yet, but it was very clear what was happening here: they wanted the Punks' heads, and only theirs. Of course! Where was the fun in killing someone of your "own team"? Everybody knows that can only get you...
That's a very good explanation, actually. You could save it and paste it whenever someone asks you about what does Mary Sue mean because it goes straight to the point.
Actually, making a master tactician is not inherently Mary Sue (although you are almost there just by using this trait alone)...
The only way to get to the top is with practice. While it's true that I have started roleplaying just a few years ago (I think 4, I haven't counted them), I've been around forums for more than a decade surrounded by Grammar Nazis that have taught me to write like I do now, and writing used to be...
With long ago, I probably mean around half a year. Honestly, I am kind of new to forum roleplaying, but I had been roleplaying in MMO for a while.
I have only started to browse the cyberanglosphere as of recently, since just a few years ago I sucked at English.
