BigRedBuster Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The ad window that recently was added is annoying how it comes and goes. I fully understand the need for advertising to pay for this site and fully support having advertisements to keep it free. However, the way this one works is annoying. PS....when I went to post this post, the window almost covers up the "post new topic" button. Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I'd be willing to make a contribution to get it off my screen. Would be one thing if it was news or pertinent ads, but it's National Enquirer sort of stuff. Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I saw a big animal penis on mine. It's the most annoying ad I've ever seen on a website. Can't we have them down the side of the screen or something? Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I blame the people who actually click on those things and actually buy something. I mean really, who does that? 1 Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Penelope Cruz's feet are the ugliest thing you'll see all day. couldn't posibly be as ugly as this ad banner To clarify - that wasn't an opinion, it was the ad I was seeing (but I agree with you) However, now its telling me "Beyonce's feet are the ugliest thing you'll see all day." Makes me wonder what I googled that they're pushing lady feet at me. Or, do they assume that all you fellas here on HB are into feet? Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Well be glad you don't have the ugliest feet. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm sorry about the ads, guys. Will pass the feedback. I know we're always looking for ways to offset server costs here at HB, but serving up the worst of the internet ... I mean, I think it'll at least be a trial run and see how the numbers are. It's a little depressing to me that this has kind of become the direction of internet advertising. It's everywhere. Did you guys know that two MIT Boston grads are shaking up the automobile industry?

NM11046 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I didn't know that Zoogs, because I got sucked into "No One Can Look Away from These Freaky Celebrity Photos". Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm pretty sure these are targeted ads based on cookies on your browser. So people seeing ads about automobiles probably have looked at something car-related recently, if you're seeing celebrity photos you may have been browsing People or TMZ, and people seeing animal penises.... well... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 6 Quote Link to comment
