Hi there, I'm Little Judas
You might remember me from such classics as
Who's Notable?, New Boards and who could forget Today's Smile.

Well boys and girls, today I going to ask you this:
While typing a little something about Perry joining the asylum, the word "join" became a link, to something called "Wooz Worlds".
I changed my sentence to avoid it and all was forgotten.
That was until Chishio Kunrin typed this: http://forum.legendsofequestria.com/index.php?topic=67.msg434722#msg434722
As you can see "Friends" is also linked to that same place.

Is this an add you admins and mods know about due to financial benefit or is this malevolent add-ware that sneaked into the site?

Words so far.

Did you guys change anything while I was typing? It's gone.
Thanks to Julius for my OC. (see the avatar)

Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees, Give a home to the fleas, in my hair
A home for fleas, a hive for the buzzing bees, A nest for birds, there ain't no words
For the beauty, splendor, the wonder of my hair

I do not have it. Are you sure you haven't gotten a toolbar? Like Babylon?

Yes, apparently Spybot finds Babylon on the last remnants of an unused Internet Explorer.
But I can not remove it for some reason.

Used this and even spybot can't find it any more.
Yet those links keep appearing. Seems fine. If anyone has this problem follow the link and be glad that it's over.
