Just seen what I think is a questionable/unsuitable advert on this site - "Male Gaming Site". Am I just being a prude?
Since there is no age limit on the forum as far as I am aware I think this leaves me feeling uncomfortable. (I haven't clicked on the advert)
 
When I look at this forum at work I get naked ladies! Our servers go via Germany, and they seem to be a bit less strict when it comes to advertising on the banners. The boys in the office think it is hilarious!!!!
 
good heavens! I must have some good firewalls, thank goodness. Um, am I being very naive by asking, what is Male Gaming? (do I want to know?)
 
I doubt hho care whether you want to see it if it isn't actively offensive!

I just get banks and the RNLI. I like the RNLI :)

Is it not targeted the ads on here?! I assumed they were and you got what was relevant to you from websites you have visited before?
 
I wonder if it has any relationship to the viewer's internet history . . . I've got English Heritage:D
 
aren't the adds on the side, normally linked to what you've been looking at? haha?

often I go onto random sites and the ad's are for things like Robinsons or horse rugs etc!!

not suggesting you're looking at dodge sites for one min ;)
 
Showers and fitted bathroom furniture for me - and yes I have been researching a new bathroom today and needless to say, the one I want won't fit.
 
I don't think they can be.

I'm currently getting Macmillian but have been getting comestic surgery, cars, beer etc. Definitely not done a web search for anything remotely linked to any of these.
 
I currently have garden sheds. I browse garden stuff all the time :)

Just got b&q. Use them all the time too!

God I am dull

Yes, I understood they were ad sense or similar, so they reflect what has been searched and clicked on by the ip address. I just get tons of cars - surprise surprise ;)

The inappropriate ones may be because those websites are tracking peculiar search terms, that the ordinary human being wouldn't think of as in any way sexual. I once searched for something with the word fist in it and got all sorts of pornographic websites.

yeh have you been searching how many inches of bone your horse has? that could be considered rude haha
 
I keep getting a most annoying ad for sci-fi/horror films which takes up so much room that I can't get rid of it and have to use the back button. I don't download films and can't stand sci-fi or horror in any shape or form, so goodness knows why that is targetted at me. I wish it would stop. I get macMillan and cars too, and I get cosmetic surgery. I'm not in the market for a new car and definitely wouldn't consider cosmetic surgery.

You need an ad blocker for the pop up ones. Makes life so much nicer :)

Just search ad blocker online and you should find the one which goes with your browser. Download it and voila! :)
 
I have senakot.

And below, Boden who I refuse to use until they stop using models who look seriously ill (sadly I don't think I buy enough for my boycott to be noticed).
