Nope havent seen any are u talking about this site or sites in general? Sometimes google acts dumb and thinks what your searching or the site your on relates to it and gives you those kind of ads but dunno.
While we are on the subject of ads any noticed the attack of those Evony adverts were they stick a picture of a random model to try and get the attention of sex fiendish geeks =/ they are like EVERYWHERE.
Get Firefox.
Get AdBlock
Get some orange juice
=WIN on all fronts
I don't wanna stir up a sh-tstorm here, but that's pretty intolerant. What's there to mis-understand? If you're gay and want a date, you click on it. If not, you ignore it like all the rest of the ads.Quote:

Nothing like a good homophobe to start off my morning.
Not me, but I have visitors and etc, what if i were on the web and the ad had some homosexual dating site posted on it, the person wouldnt exactly know its just a ad, which is what I was tryin to point out.Quote:

Its hard to lightheartedly joke on the internets.
The advertisements are based on keywords found in posts.
If you say "Gay" enough times, you'll get ads for it.

Gay ads? You mean this?
Really? That's interesting.Quote:

You guys do know that the ads are always relevant to whatever you search often on your computer, right? I.e. for me, I always get ads for games and computers.
It changes depending on your search history.
the plot thickens....Quote:

Yeah I seen what your talking about. They advertise it all the time on my myspace homepage because my orientation is set to Bisexual. That or because it comes up random.
Ads are ads. People aren't going to come onto Onrpg, a very obvious gaming website, and see the gay ad and say "osh-" thinking they stumbled onto a gay site. Y'know? Even for a random visitor, it should be very obvious that it is an ad, not the banner of Onrpg, a homo-dating site.Quote:

Hahahaha thats funny couse im always worried peoples gonna think im on some sort of sex site with all the half naked girls on onrpg sigs. and to someone who doesnt play comps much sigs look more like a random picture your trying to look at.
I never got any gay ad's and im glad i dont,"probly boycott those web sites that have them". Only adds i notice are on youtube and there ussualy for mmorpg's. unless i go to isohunt wich makes it look like im at some sort of nudey site.
yeah... the worst part isnt the banner ads
the worst part is the stupid sigs and avvy's so many of you insist on having.
half nekkid bent over asian birds and asexual looking men with stupid haircuts or some giant sig from one of those gay animus you all watch.
thats the worst part.
You say "Oh, that's an ad.".Quote:

The ads seem to appear whenever a "Post Your Picture" thread comes up, for some odd reason.
