This is a banner ad I'm getting on VJ. Ewok, I don't know if you intended for this or not so wanted to bring it to your attention.

If you see it again let me know. We do not want that type of ad here. We certainly did not intend for any ads like that to be on the site .

Ewok,

That ad is still on... only on that thread though (the Bhutto thread - http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...owtopic=104642). I refreshed a few times and got that ad all but once.

When I went into that thread all I got was ads for "What age will you die?" and "Counterterrorism"




ETA : and now "Faster Internet" and "Internet Explorer 7"

I just got it again... it took 7 refreshes this time.

notice the clock at the bottom left.

I will see about blocking that ad. There may be some text on that page that makes that ad targeted for what ever reason.

Maybe there are some VJers that WANT to find sexy girls!

Find Sexy Singles... on the Hillary thread

The problem is that Google sends ads based on keywords it finds in content in an attempt to match. With all the sex talk on VJ it is hardly surprising these ads are appearing.

ddamn perverts on vj..

pot, kettle



i wonder how many nanoseconds it took for arjit to check out that site

You forgot to mention those disgusting "porn" pics, too.

True!

VJ is a FAMILY BASED Immigration site, but I don't want to open a thread and read about farts, cum swallowing, nasty crotches, peroids, pads, poop, and past sexual encounters...and some of the pics are way over the top. Im certainly not a prude, but this crap doesn't belong here. My .02 shekels.

Looks like I missed the thread on cum swallowing.

I agree, it is a family based board and the sex trash in some threads is just way over the top.

Trash attracts trash, no ?

I wonder how widespread this sentiment is.

FYI - I also saw that add a few days ago...

Me too.

alright, which one of you two started that poll? arjit or you?

don't worry..i have it posted again

where?

Blahhh.

farts, cum swallowing, nasty crotches, periods, pads, poop, and past sexual encounters are all part of life. I don't know why people that don't have a problem talking about things that are part of life can't talk about it. Specially on OT.

There's a thing called tact & it is severely lacking here. Appropriateness too. OT does not mean free for all nor should it. This is an immigration board, first & foremost.

yer a poopyhead

well if I go out for dinner with friends i won't be talking about that. That i would consider inappropriate, or talk about it with my neighbors. But I'd talk about it with my best friend, my husband, so why not an Off Topic Forum?

The question is, which is OT more like? An impromptu sidewalk chat with your neighbors or an intimate dinner with your best friend?

it's the focking internet for christ sake. And as far as I'm concerned, as long as I don't violate TOS I can say whatever is on my mind. People don't have to read it. They can either avoid OT or ignore my posts.

Nessa, you were making a good point, I was just helping the argument along

Ever since this thread got started, I've been paying attention to the stupid ads (normally I just completely ignore them as I loathe Google ads.) I have yet to see any "Sexy Girl" ones. I did notice a few "Campaign" ads that sprung up in a "Hillary" thread and some other fitting ones that coincided with keywords in other threads. But I've yet to see any for "Mature" audiences. Maybe it was a freak event.

Well, Ewok did say he was going to try to block them.

Yes, he did. I know it can be tough though. Advertisers are slick.

Indeed

guys I am locking this.
