> " I eventually found what I was looking for: by changing a few lines of CSS, I could hack the layout of the page to push all the ads off the screen" I remember doing stuff like this. I had a Geocities account back in the day as well as one on a number of other providers like Angelfire, etc. One of the simplest hacks was to just leave an opening <noscript> tag at the bottom of your markup. Since the ad code and scripts were appended to the bottom of the page markup, they would never execute or show up. One of the free hosting providers started fighting back by putting a bunch of </noscript></noscript></noscript> tags in a row right before their ad code started. Savvy developers of course responded by placing even more opening <noscript><noscript><noscript> tags. I forget which provider it was, but those were some good times to be a rebellious teenage coder. :)
