Get rid of this goddam thing, anytime I sign in this place I am forced to eavesdrop on nonsense that I can really give two shits about yet must witness every single post for the duration I am using the forum. Simple Minimize button to where that section folds up would make the world of difference to myself and i'm sure plenty of other people. Advertisements that roll across half the screen when my mouse inadvertently goes over it are a necessary evil so this is fine and I understand, this ticker bullshit I should not be forced to be subjected to however. Do something about this thing once and for all to where it at least can be minimized for those who do not want to be subjected to it.
