Artoo Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 I would just like to say that that ad is very lewd, annoying, and distracting. I would like to see it taken away from our clean forums.
Boba Rhett Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 The one I'm seeing is for FM radio....lucky.......
Guest SlashAndBurn Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 Lewid bikini add? All I usualy see are adds for the sci fi book club and that subosedly wondrous mini camera....then agai I havent been on that much over the last week so maybe I missed something.
hannibalscipio Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 I haven't gotten that one, thankfully. Just an Amazing webcam that shows some stuff I don't like.
Guest Kudar Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 I'd rather have a bikini than that horrible red thing flashing telling me I've been selected to make money........
Wraith 8 Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 I just seen that add...... dont think it is appropiate for this site.
Rogue15 Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 it is kinda outta place, it is winter after all, wouldn't they be freezing? other than that, doesn't bother me any.
Prince_Xizor Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 altough i liked that add....i would just like to say...thats probably why heavyarms got taken away
Eets Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 *giggle* Bikini ad... hehehehehehehehehehehhehehehe
SithMaster2003 Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 Prince_Xizor has a point.If parents see their kids comming to forums with adds like that, a parent can only wonder what the forums are like. I mean, i know that this forum is safe for every person of the family. it has a clean reputation and it has to stay clean. we can only keep it clean by keeping ads like those off this site. So off with the bikini ads.
Eets Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 Originally posted by SithMaster2003 So off with the bikini ads. *giggle* remind me not to drink before I read this..
SithMaster2003 Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 arg i meant take the ads off the site... i swear i am the most misunderstood person sometimes....
Young David Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 I think the ads are a bit peronalized ... I mean ... Who of you have ever seen a dutch banner here? Well I have, for Chello. I'd rather have the bikini ad
matt-- Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 The ads have cookies that record were you've been. When a new ad is loading, it reads the cookie and displays the most appropriate ad for you. So by viewing the ads on this page, your more likely to get gaming ads. That's why I'm getting that "Real War" ad...instead of this bikini one. Off with the bikinis!

That's why I'm getting that "Real War" ad...instead of this bikini one. Off with the bikinis! So basicly, the guy complaining about the bikini ad is getting it because he looks at bikini sites? Cause I'm not getting a bikini ad. As a matter of fact I've mostly seen sci-fi and book ads on this site. Wouldn't mind seeing a reminder of summer.
SithMaster2003 Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 there is also the little fact that people delete cookies. i delete my cookies daily, so whatever has been on my computer isnt there anymore. so those that delete their cookies on a regular basis, are gonna see these ads more and more. and if ads like this keep popin up then many kids who use this forum wont be able to because parents are gonna see thses ads and wonder what their kids are lookin at.
hannibalscipio Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 Just cuz you get a bikini ad, doesn't mean you visit porn sites. That stuff hunts you down sometimes.
Guest Kudar Posted January 12, 2002 Posted January 12, 2002 cookie smookie, the ads are regionalised, and not based on a cookie, the reason people aren't seeing the bikini ad is because it doesn't advertise something relative to their part of the world, just like I don't see Chello adverts - because I've got no use for a Dutch ISP
Artoo Posted January 13, 2002 Author Posted January 13, 2002 But it's the freakin dead of winter!!! I know! I just camped in it! (God it was cold) I only get on the computer for this site and one other internet comic site here.... *begin shameless plug* http://www.nuklearpower.com/comic *end shameless plug* and altus. You now know the list of my history. But I've never seen that thing again for some reason. Go figure. Now it's all LotR and RealWar.
matt-- Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 I finally saw it! That pic of the girl in the pool could be conceived as lewd. But the others I would just describe as "skimpy." I am shocked to see that ad on this forum.
Artoo Posted January 14, 2002 Author Posted January 14, 2002 Take it out at ludicrous speed please? The woman's nipples are showing, and Eets is being distracted by it. By some government censorship policies, the site could also be sued for exposing minors to porn. See-through counts. Unless of course when the ad popped up you could force it down under a script warning minors. But that could be trouble to do. Just take it away!!!!
Zygomaticus Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 yeah why dont we go back to the good old days of no ads
Artoo Posted January 14, 2002 Author Posted January 14, 2002 the site still needs to be funded but this ad.... I swear if that thing pops up one more time. If we could just have ads that actually mean something to us. Not internet cams, or lewd bikini women. Real War and Sci-Fi book ads those make sense! But internet cams? Sometimes I have to doubt lucasforums when they say what get's to be advertised. If only George knew.
