when I click on the "forum" buttonin the menu, I get a pop-up ad - fair enough, hosting things comes with costs etc- but being greeted with a full screen image of a woman's genitalia is probably a bit inappropriate at this time of the day.... just sayin'

i think most ads here are targeted using user's own recent browsing history.

so.

Do you mean the drawing of the pod-like thing with a vagina on the front?
I thought that was quite artsy.
I have no idea what it's advertising. :|

Also, they infect the client (your computer) with adware that makes porn ads pop up on all sorts of places... *ahem*

yeah... if only I weren't all paranoid and tended to restart my browser often, deleting cookies and history, always surfing in private mode, and using an array of tracking protection and ad-blockers and pop up blockers.
i'm not used to seeing any ads at all, really....

I can't understand why you have such problems guys. Personally, I love the way Adblockers works because it got rid of all the problems I had in the past related to unwanted remarks about the casino, porn, or other aberrant stuff.
I was already very tired of seeing things like that, especially when I was busy with important things on the internet and these ads confused me.
I haven't had such problems since I installed ad blockers and I'm lucky that a friend told me about this possibility because I didn't know until then.

Kyle, I strongly suspect you are a spammer. If you post that link one more time you will be permanently banned.
