They need to know where the banner is from. The ad is from an outside source, and by showing them where it links to, will be able to find it much easier. Just hover the mouse over it, and screenshot the bottom corner of the page, where the link address shows up

Hey, I just now saw that ad. I remember this thread from earlier so I caught the link, or rather links (both the adserver link, and the address it goes to when you click on it).

Here ya go:

adserver: http://ads.addynamix.com/click/2-213...mmoguru.com%2F

click-through: http://www.passion.com/search/p28069...ride=1&ip=auto


Hope that helps.

Then its just a matter of time for they know you watch lolicon and come and... GETCHA!!!... okay just kidding they aren't coming for you ^_^...

NP, guys.

Honestly, there may be no nudity, but there was some fairly risque pictures. I'd hate to be 13-16 years old and have a parent look over my shoulder to see either that ad or that site on my screen. It would be followed with "I don't want you getting on that site again!", referring to both the link and where I clicked through to that link (i.e. GWG). So, yeah... uptight parents, I suppose.

As a parent, I wouldn't want that ad on a website my kids were going to. The name of the site is bad enough but then it says "sexy ads for sexy people" and you just know there's stuff you don't want your kids to be looking at.

It's all ready been removed, just an FYI since I failed to mention that.

While on the subject of " iffy " adverts, one of the adverts Free Smileys, while may be amusing to some, the smileys are downloaded from S***ey Central, which bundled in their software is some nasty adware which can cause problems with alot of pc's. And has been branded a nuisance by a number of internet security forums. Perhaps you could also look into removing this one also please

Perhaps you could also look into removing this one also please About 99% of all the "click here to download something" have adware bundled with them. And 99% of the "click here and give us your email address" will spam you email that contains stuff wtih adware bundled with it :\

You cant win every fight.

You cant win every fight. Ok, i accept what you say as true fella.
But can i ask you a question, would you want your internationally recognised, boasted about website, known to be using advertising, causing adware related problems with their pc, especially with so many ppl with problems looking for help on this site?
Admittedly, i have not seen this advert for few days, but i have all my pop-up bockers, advert blockers on.

We encourage people to click the ads, but we also advise extreme caution if you decide to participate in the services that they offer. As with anything, it's good to be cautious of things unless you're absolutely sure they're ok.
