Why are there so many ads containing the phrase 'Northern Ireland' in them on this forum?

This is the first Irish Republican forum where I have seen 'the phrase that dare not be breathed by Irish Republicans' used.

Whose side are we on?

Haha, I'm sure we don't have control over ad content

What ****s me is when I'm checking the hits to various websites I run, the hits will come up as 'Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom'

Drives me bloody nutty

Why does that upset you?
That's where 99.9% of the world considers Belfast to be.
In case you hadn't noticed the Irish Republic that we all dream of doesn't exist.
Until it does Belfast is as described.

Well boss Dan is quite right, we dont have any control over the content of the Ads, google simpley associates Belfast with 'Northern Ireland' . They arent the brilliant republicans we wish they could be, however, they are nessecary to maintain running costs.

Australia still insists on referring to the Republic of Macedonia as the 'Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia' only to appease the high percentage of Greek population.

Doesn't mean I have any bar of it. Same with Belfast. Belfast is in Ireland.

And I doubt "99.9%" of the world really recognise that Belfast is a part of the UK. Infact, most dont know Ireland is partitioned.

I didn't know until a few years ago

Imagine how ****ed off I was when I found out that Brits are still meddling in Ireland's affairs

It would almost be enough to drive you to republicanism.

Almost. :rolleyes:

its used so that web sites with ads are not showing compeitiers ads that would take away business.
