I'm all for fun... but annoying other users isn't fun. Also there are a lot of things that people can do with JavaScript. I wish I wouldn't have to make it disappear however it seems inevitable. The more e-mails and /msg's I get from people with the potential dangers of using JavaScript the more I realize that it's going to have to disappear from the site entirely on home nodes as there is no good way of filtering what is good JS and what is bad JS.

I'd like to thank of all of you who wear the white hats and let me know about potential problems, sadly it's inevitable that not all people with wear the white hat.
