About this thread:

Sometimes our ad rotation gets a little funky and we end up getting ads that may not be appropriate for the younger members on our forums. We try to remain family-friendly on this site and if there is an inappropriate ad, please save the image to your computer and upload it here. Please try to include the URL of the image and where it goes, too.

I noticed one advertising Free Condoms, and I think thats a bit inappropriate. I didn't get the URL or where it goes too, forgot, sorry.

this one too...$50 back for menthol smokers only.

I just got one that said "Increase your bust size".
I think the URL on the ad was like www.breastenlargement.com

Didn't even notice until after I clicked a link, hit back button but different ad loaded.

No clue who the guy pictured in my avatar is, but its a great picture nonetheless!

I've seen the breast enlargement one quite a few times. I always forgot to get the link though.

I still BRAKE for Kraken.

Wow, I clicked 'back' and now I have one for genital herpes.

The banner seems to be a shockwave file though, I can't save it. Clinking the link went to http://www.genitalherpes.com/info/ab...0201&checked=y

I did get a screen shot, it's below.

Sorry I forgot to click on the link, but here's the image. Not quite "family friendly".

EDIT: As soon as it pops up again, I'll post the link.

I'm having trouble seeing what's not offensive about it. The phrase "Wanna get lucky tonight" can be taken several different ways. Plus the girl's ugly and she looks like she's ticked off.

Wanna get lucky tonight sounds sexual to me. Also, she's standing in front of a bullseye, which doesn't take much imagination to figure out what they're implying.

But that's my take on it.

Here's the link: http://www.benshermanusa.com/contest...eyword=BURSTAD

I like Steven's theory. The girl is ugly, so it can't be sexual.

Marry me Diesel.

That would be one scary family.

Ok enough chatter in this thread.

this linked images ad http://cdn.valueclick.com/hg/a011284...r-Shaketag.gif pops up a Gator something download request. just to let ya know.

I got that too, and it doesn't link to anything, but I always get something in my privacy report about Gator. I seriously thought I had spyware, but nothing turned up.

Anyway, for now, if you have a firewall, block out 64.152.73.1 - 64.152.73.254 and 64.157.165.1 - 64.157.165.254 and add the following to IE's Restricted Sites Control Panel (under Internet Options > Security > Restricted Sites > Sites button) (and make sure you're blocking Gator's cookies)...

Add...

*.gator.com
*.gainpublishing.com
*.gatoradvertisinginformationnetwork.com
*.gatorcorporation.com
*.claria.com (this is Gator's parent's new name)

I'll make sure this gets reported.

EDIT: Hopefully, Alex removed the ad. Give it about 24 hours or so. You may also want to empty your Temporary Internet Files.

Would you consider those annoying Casino ads inappropriate? If so, next time I see that ad, Ill report it.

I got a popup for Orexis, a male sexual enhancement performer. http://nitrous.internetfuel.com/adco...adrotate2.html

TN does not have pop ads as far as I am concerened. I have NO pop up blocker at all, no blocked sites etc. I do not get pop ups, other people don't get pop ups as well.

It could be other sites you were looking at at the same time or some plug in. It could be a lot of things. Check for spyware etc.

You should get ad-aware.

Unfortunately, we don't know what you're talking about.

I haven't seen an ad like that lately, but I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

In addition, if you find it again, get a link, and possibly a screenshot.

Its on the top banner when you're in forums or threads.

I know which one he is talking bout. I think it is a screensavers one. I have seen it multiple times. I will be on the look out for it also.


EDIT. I just came across it.

http://www.popularscreensavers.com/?partner=ZRxdm072 i also got a pic of the ad.

Well, the way I see it is this...

You're supposed to be at least 13 to be on this site, or if you're under 13, have a signed note from a parent that you're allowed to be on the site. If you are circumventing that requirement... it's not our responsibility if a 10 year old who lies when registering comes across it.

I've seen PG-13 movies (even some PG ones for that matter) where I've seen thongs. So, that's why we're really not going to do anything about it.

I recently saw one for passion.com. I didn't get the image or link though because I saw it just as I was clicking on something else.
