There has been an increased number of gay advertisments recently, nothing against it, but when at work and i get that banner flashing up, people start to talk!

This has come up before and I agree they are not the thing for this place.

However they are Google ads & you generally cannot control what ads the google engine will throw at your site - they automatically throw the most appropriate to content ads .. (maybe the FS & gay world have a lot of terminology in common ...  ;D - who knows ..)

I put in a request again to have them removed a few days ago but heard nothing. I asked some time ago on the google ad forum & not a single person replied.

What a world eh?  8-) ::)

OK I have found a way to bar certain ads

If anyone can paste in the URL of the advertiser I will add it to a ban list

I can't click the ads myself because if I click the ads & then use the same IP to log into Google Adsense I could be banned from carrying Google ads.

Thanks

I suspect that the various Advertising Agencies out there have been observing the recent, amorous, "Love-ins" between Members, in the FSX, Hardware.... :o...., and Software... :o... Forums, etc...;)...!

...so many long-winded, thank-yous, kisses, and cuddles for assistance received... ::)...!

Private, P.M's between consenting, "Love-in Members?", or a simple "Thank-you" is much less embarrassing and much less likely to attract attention from the Gay Happy Society who are always on the look-out for more recruits.......Trust me... ;)...!

Paul....backs to the wall, Lads... ;D... ;D... ;D...!
