That 'Wowcher' thingmy at the top of threads is bugging me

[PacificDogwood]

It is making the page just leeettle slower to load, and then it does an annoying skip IYKWIM.
Is it here to stay?
Please say it is not so. It is annoying and brings the general tone of the site down
Get rid.
Henceforth.
Please.
Gin may be forthcoming...

Yes I'm finding it really annoying too. What's it for anyway? I'm not clicking it

I don't think Ghostery blocks it Zombie, but if you use a Flashblocker or NoScript that might affect it. Fwiw, I disable NoScript for MN, so it may be FlashBlock, which I'm not enabling, too many exploits are deployed in Java and expect you to autorun either Java or Flash.

Zombie's been wandering around Chat at bit. It's weird. Wowcher shows up on some threads but not on others. Can't identify a pattern.

Hmmmm...
