Drop 4e 4 rpg.net

Script Summary: On forum.rpg.net, this hides topics that have the 4e tag or subject title.

The D&D forum at forum.rpg.net has a LOT of topics about D&D 4th edition. This is fine. However, for those of us who are interested in other editions, it's a lot to wade through. This script simply hides the topics that are tagged as 4th edition.

Note that this is not a 100% solution, as someone could start a topic about 4th edition with no mention of 4th edition anywhere, and thus the script would not know to remove it. In my experience, it kills about 95% of the 4th edition topics, which is at least a very good improvement.

The 1.1.0 revision goes beyond tags -- it also searches the subject line of the topic for "4e" or "4th ed" and removes those too. The coverage of the script is now greater and it seems to really keep 4th edition topics out of the way.
