Everyone with a SourceForge account should go "rock the vote" on SourceForge for your favorite project and mine, PortableApps. Login to your SourceForge account and go to the following link and nominate PortableApps.
http://sourceforge.net/community/cca08-nominate
After logging in, you'll be asked to give the name and URL of the project. The easiest way to do this is to click on the "Don't know the URL? Click here to search" link which bring up another search box. Type in "PortableApps" (no quotes) and PortableApps should be the first one listed. Click on the name and you'll be taken to a page with multiple categories. When you vote for PortableApps in one category, you can click on the link that says "nominate again" or (something like that) to nominate it in multiple categories. I nominated PortableApps in the following categories:
Best Project
Most Likely to Change the World
Best Tool or Utility for SysAdmins
Best Tool or Utility for Developers

@John, there ought to be a front page story for this, Drupal are doing it!
Good idea
I'll post a front page story on it next week.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
a button on the front page?

Another thing to be filtered out by greasemonkey...

Um, why? It's a single image that's gonna be on the site for a grand total of 25 days. Maybe I'll change it daily to mess with your script.

Um, excellent. :-)

Lol. If you wanna waste your time, you can do it.
I hate ads of all kind and will remove it anyway.
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do." Asimov
This is an Open Source contest, not an "ad". Besides, if you're using Greasemonkey to exclude images you're WAY over-engineering the effort since Adblock Plus can do it with one click.

2 clicks:P Usually I use adblock, but it doesn't remove the frame. And it took less than writing the last 2 answers.
And it is an ad of an Open Source contest...
ADDED: I should add that the frame part doesn't apply to the main page but to the left side of forum pages.
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do." Asimov
Why do you visit the PortableApps.com main page at all then?
I'm sure you would consider it basically one big ad.
Skip the ads! Jump directly:

"What's new" is what I'm looking for.
The rest isn't there anymore.
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do." Asimov
I already did.
Great idea to let everyone know, though.
