I don't know what's so hard about removing a couple lines of HTML..

Because the website backend is written in C and uses a crappy template engine. Changes to that template can result in disaster. (See what happened to replying to a thread and not seeing the last post when they got squadcar; to make a few changes)

Yoda, none of that is true, whatsoever. No part of the website is written in C (and never has been), and.. whatever, you're just making stuff up? Please stop doing that.

Yes, it's easy to remove the link. The last time this was brought up, I thought "hell, it'll only take me an hour or so to just switch to another merch provider and get that online!". So I spent some time setting up exactly that.. until I eventually realized the Curt had not actually put any of the finished designs in their intended locations in our media, and I basically couldn't actually create.. anything.

Then it fell by the wayside. Yes, I notice it every once in awhile, and it annoys me. It is difficult to manage our sheer number of shifting priorities.

I don't really care nearly as much about removing the link, as I do about replacing it with a new merch system.

Anyway, thanks for the additional report. We are aware.

I'm sure there more than a couple qualified HTML guys that would volunteer to help with simple stuff like that on the site.
