Not so sure it is aimed at me (I am happily married with two children) but for a while on the old forum a gay dating website would be advertised across the top of the page.......... :shock:

Google are getting really clever at tracing all our activity on the Internet now!

The know exactly what subjects I browse during each day, and bombard me with adverts relating to those subjects in my various Browser pages!...

Musical instruments, Motor Bikes, Aeroplanes, (and other things)....they are watching me all the time...

I've got used to it now...some of them are quite comical!

Paul...I have a shadow following me... :lol: ...!

Steve....

..."Mr. Google Bot" has spotted that you are having problems with running your copy of FSX on your existing hardware, (like the rest of us), and publishing these difficulties on a public Forum (Simviation), and is offering you some advice....probably costing you loads of money...as they do... ;) ...!

I normally avoid their advice, and go and make another cup of Coffee..

Paul.... :mrgreen: ...!

I actually do not have the vast majority of those ads any more after installing 'DoNotTrackPlus'. It even tells you what is being blocked...for example right now on this page as I type this....

Just 2:

DoubleClick
GoogleAdsense

CNN.com and the like normally hit 15 different trackers. On facebook I usually only have 1 (always Google).
