I don't have leet progrmamming skillz, but is the FTR code set up in such a way that someone could develop a stylesheet that makes the look of the site much more work-safe? Jhite background, fewer graphics etc? I accept this could be a big problem with the ads but even if they stay, the rest of the site could be given a clean, professional sheen?
If anyone who knows more about coding sites than I do fancied having a go, I'd be very grateful!
