Advert? What advert?

I use Firefox with Adblock Plus and I don't have *any* adverts when I visit these forums.

Even when I visit these boards with IE, which is next to never, I don't see this ad you mention... what is it?

Two lesbians making out with the slogan 'Live the lifestyle you've always dreamed of' or something to that effect. Alternately, there's some chick dressed in leather straps.

I don't like it, it's assuming we're all sex-starved 13 years olds with transgender lesbian bondage fantasies, but honestly, there's nothing the trolls can do about it. It's random advertising based upon 'keywords' we use on the forum.

Fine. I'll quit talking about my kinks.

Yeah, it's kind of annoying. Not that I don't like seeing two girls kiss and all ( ), but I also wouldn't mind it going away.

Yeah, I see it every time too... and I have Firefox and Ad-Block. My son saw it yesterday when I logged in. Is there anyway to drop it? I like watching my lesbians make out 'alone'.

The ads are with us until the Trolls decide to host the boards on their own server. This is the price we pay for free board hosting.

If everyone would stop talking about lesbians, there wouldn't be a problem.

Me too. I'm always shocked when I access the web on someone else's computer and see all of those ads floating around. They are annoying.

I use Firefox but don't use AdBlock. I use a HOSTS file instead. More effective in my opinion, but more work too.

If you have Firefox and and Ad-Block and it is still showing. something is wrong. I actually use Ad-Block Plus, but I'm not sure what the difference is.

In general, if one frequents online forums, it's worth using Firefox and Ad-Block... really cuts out the crud.
