That's about when I usually record my commentary nowadays, too, or when the place is empty. It's just so much easier to avoid distractions. Now that summer temperatures are here, I've been taking my laptop outside to record there. In fact, I'm going to do that tonight after my midnight mile run.

I refuse to disable. Nobody likes servbot's that much anyway, so hopefully they'll run out soon

Isn't that what they're there for? To be skewered?
I apologize but flash content freezes my browser. I did whitelist mmls in my adblocker, but I forgot that I'd added a flash blocker, ::\
erm... but I'll be sure to check out some ads from time to time, mmkay?

It was supposed to be a simple "ohmygoshguysitotallycantbelieveit" sort of thing to leave us with an "oh snap" feeling after seeing it. While servbots are made to be pushed around and punted, skewered with blood IS a little over-the-top, and saying that's what they deserve isn't justified in any case to any true Legends fan. I stand by Kyle's side when he said the line was crossed. Nah, they're pirates right? It saves work for Megaman too Saves work? Heck, if servbots just outright dropped their guts after being stabbed with a signpost, there would hardly be anything left to get in Megaman's way, as far as the surface world of Terra is concerned. That's half of Legends down the drain. So, in conclusion... Isn't that what they're there for? To be skewered? No. To be battled, punted, appreciated, and adored. Those are the more accepted, justified, and [rated E for everyone] answers.

To be fair, I didn't actually click the link to view the image because my browser was pretty locked up at the time and couldn't handle a new tab and my tongue was firmly in-cheek . Plus I thought it was going to be like E Rated Mega Man 8-level cartoon violence, not that gory ""E Rated"" Mega Man X4 stuff. BTW, isn't MOTB [Rated T for Teens] or something? Or almost?

Nah MOTB is still rated E. The pic wasn't really gory even though they poked a servbot with a sign. Bringing up the question, if they're bots then why do they have blood?

Since I really like that site, I'll disable it. Also, I should ask now, do you all make money on here if I disable ads or does it go to Proboards? I only disable it if it helps sites/people I like. This one counts.

'Tis gory enough for me, though I have seen worse. I have to be really mesmerized to be able to look at stuff like that without getting at least a little squeamed. Anyway, to your question: It's not blood, it's ketchup, silly. That's clearly a modified Stripe Burger waiter-bot. Press top of head to dispense condiments. I think Reploids need "blood" to keep their gears and processors cool and lubed, and possibly to circulate anti-virus protection and store dna battle data.

This is why I spend so much time studying comedy. I don't want to find myself in a position where I tell a joke and it backfires because someone in the audience doesn't get it.

TL;DR: Servbots are awesome. The only real pain they need is in the Torture Room.
(I knew it was a joke immediately, but my statement still holds true XD)
As for adblock, I disable it if I want to support a site enough that I can deal with the annoyances of ads.

Sorry, but my ad-blocker stays on as far as I'm concerned, and I have no sympathy whatsoever. Every single animation ad, every single GIF, aPNG, and Flash ad, every single annoying bit of javascript, that takes a toll on my outdated computer, and I get really sick of it really fast. I don't think anyone actually realizes this, but there's a hell of a lot of people who DON'T have the high-spec computers to run even a simple GIF at its normal animation frames without taking about ten minutes to load, even on high-speed connections, and do you know what? I'm one of them.
Before you point out "You could buy a better computer/internet connection", I live in a horrible little trailer park in the middle of the woods on a county line in North Georgia, about ten miles away from all four of the nearest cities, with only two phone company connection buildings halfway in the directions of the north and south city in this paradigm, with only one cell-phone tower in my area, and that tower's a Verizon tower, not a Sprint tower. My mother and sister work bit jobs at McDonalds slinging burgers and my father pays all the bills--including the lowest-level, basic internet connection we have's bill--with his podunk fire restoration job with the new Servpro, and he doesn't get as many gigs called in as he used to work. I have a special education diploma that keeps me from even getting a job because it's not a GED or a High School Diploma. I can't afford to pay for a better computer/internet connection, and I can't begin to afford it either.
Not everyone has this situation that I do. I understand that. I'm sorry that they're the ones who take the sweet time and money away from these people who truly deserve the revenue these ads bring in. But I do have this situation and I'm currently stuck in a rut where I can't get out of it at the time being, so please understand when I say, "no, I can't afford to shut off my ad blocker", and please don't try to guilt trip me into it.
(NOTE: I truly apologize for the tone of this one. I’m a bit fed up because I haven’t had the best of days today, and I’m writing this in a fevered moment. If I offend you or make you angry, please understand I have no intent to be hostile with this, I’m just getting it off my chest. Thank you for your time.)
