I know it's a small thing, but is there any way to force the ads on the site to open in a seperate tab?

I often click ads to support free games, but it's annoying to have to hit the back button after.

Also, I am under the impression that advertisers would want people to stay on their site, rather than immediately exiting to go back to where they came from. *pretty standard ad practice*

I'll keep clickin' them, but yeah.. if they opened in a separate tab.. I'd do it more often. ;)

middle click them?

I don't believe that's under our control, as that bit is served up by google I think.

But I could look into it a bit later...
Finally did the signature thing.

if we could have made them do that, we would have :(
