Rogue Renegade Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Ever wondered why we are being bombarded with Match.com ADS? Let's get real! They must think we are a bunch of lonely losers !? First let me say that I'm not in the market (VERY happily married). But, even if I were looking, why would I even pretend that Match.com could help me out. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I don't know about you, but I'd like to see some different ads flashing in my face! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Which do you prefer? Genetal Irritation? Weight Loss crap? Win "free" prizes if you hit the clown even though I never hit the cown on purpose and it still takes me to the site ? They're anoying I agree. That's why I have my handy dandy Panicware Pop-up Stopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 I liked the Matrix ones we had not too long ago. Those were by far the best ones yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Doll Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 this is not the first time someone say that he doesn´t like the ads LF have, but what can you do??? you can colaborate to LF and pay for a free server with non adds. just ignore them, that´s the same I don, why do I need the match.com that only promote things for males??? i´m happy with my boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith 8 Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 would you rather have.... A. a site where you could roam around freely and not have to pay a dime, for just a few anoying ad banners? or B. Pay a lot to leave messages to eachother on a ad free site? You have 20 seconds to give the right answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Renegade Posted April 15, 2003 Author Share Posted April 15, 2003 No, I don't mind the ads! Just an observation. Most advertising is targeted for a particular group. So, I asked the question: "Why is "underground personals" or whatever targeting these forums?" Is it because they make an assumption about SW fans? Actually, I've seen some pretty cool military ads. Perhaps they're looking for some kick-butt jedi types to enlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Doll Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 they don´t want to mean anything, a company paid to ugo.com to show their banners and adds, ugo.com show them to the forums, that´s all, maybe if a chocolate company pay to ugo for their service we can have an add about eat chocolate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 1. I have popup cop therefore no annoying popups. 2. I have kazaa lite therefore no ads at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 I actually, didn't like what K-lite did with all the ads. It wouldn't even do the auto-forwarding after you reply to threads and stuff. So I edited my hosts file so it would be normal. Some of the military ads are cool. Like the helocopter game one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Wow, that hasn't happened to me I hate the ads that come up x.x esspecially the popups that ARE NOT supposed to be there... *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 What does K-Lite do? I hate, hate, HATE the ads with sound. They need to DIE. -.- Some people do tend to listen to music when I browse these forums, you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Lemme see if i can get the capitalization correct: KaZaA-Lite, the Big K of the internet. You have to put up a modified hosts file or something and the ads don't come up and it wouldn't do that auto forwarding after posts (for me at least). I didn't like it so I edited it so the ads would come up. Now it works fine. I haven't gotten ads with sound yet. Only the military ones have some sounds, but my pop-up stopper kills it.
