it does the same with Tramdock (or at least it did for a while)

It's a different type of advertising, and one that NS probably gets a good amount of money for, it's really not that annoying.

Yea but imagine if every company started doing that, and not only on NS but on other forums.
It'd be really fucking annoying.

Maybe we should just forget the grammar and say ''a house''?

I would say no you are not alone in that.

To the OP though, who cares? It isn't that hard to just ignore it.

The house is a board shop near my house. It has about 150 different snow boards and about 5 skis.

haha. i understand, i'm not a hater. it's out of context, a quote from somebody saying that nigger would be offensive if used in that manner, rather than the bro-like meaning "nigga"

Then I perceive that you are wrong, so that is what reality is.

If you don't have room to put the name of the person you are quoting and actually maybe put the quote in a context for us, then how about removing all of the other stupid shit in there.


Or just take the offensive part out you racist fuck.
