Alasdair Ryan Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) That's a good looking ad. It would draw my attention That was not really surprising due to the fact that most pirates like scantily dressed woman anyway. I once saw a advert for a Japanese dating website....enough said.

Scorpiox Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 My adverts direct me to the website of John Lewis... I'm getting old. Quote
Dr Leg O Brick Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I'd got some daft advert about Geek dating with a rather inappropriate picture, and something about getting life insurance, because you never no when you might die. Cheery stuff... Quote

Now how well you can focus on the Lego instead of them? Quote
The Architect Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Just saying, I use K9 Web protection, and I have never seen any ads of any kind on this site. Quote
Siegfried Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I happened to PM Sinner about that very ad today. I know that EB is an 18+ site, but I don't need to see NSFW content next to The LEGO Movie news, you know? It looks like a stolen image from Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball.... How dare they! I personally don't see it as offensive... but if you give me a target URL i can ban it. Images, while nice to look at, aren't much help for blocking. Quote
rriggs Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Have people not got better things to worry about? The ads on Eurobricks are fairly unobtrusive and (in my experience) are always related to things I've been searching or shopping for recently. And, even if they weren't appropriate then I would simply ignore them. Can't believe there's even been a discussion about this... Cheers Rog Quote

I'm not getting that ad anymore. But I'll let you know if it shows up again. Thanks! Quote

jodawill Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Wow. That's nice artwork, I'm not sure if I can ban that.... Well, it's your site so you can do whatever you want to do. I just wanted to let you know about the problem. Edited January 7, 2014 by jodawill Quote
Lego Spy Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Wow. That's nice artwork, I'm not sure if I can ban that.... Is it just me or is this getting off topic. Quote
donbarca Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 usually i have an ad where attractive women wants to travel the world with me?????????????? i dont mind Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 I just saw this advert,now I know were Bonaparte makes all his money from.... Quote
Freddy Bricker Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Maybe the ad came up because they saw the word "Bonaparte" was searched often on this site? Either way, I'm assuming his minifigs are very fashionable. Quote
dr_spock Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Something may have changed. I don't see the pretty girls ads any more. Now it is showing ads for Walmart I never really paid attention to the ads before until this topic was brought up. Quote

ghostmind Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 These recent iOS game ads which force the App Store to open are pretty heinous. Quote
Mikuri Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 These recent iOS game ads which force the App Store to open are pretty heinous. Happens on sooooo many websites. It gets very frustrating. Quote
Darth Punk Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I believe google uses your search history to determine the ads you see. I was perusing a local carpet company not long ago and now I see their ads on here all the time. Quote

B-Lister Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 There's a ton of spambots in the community forum. Quote
Boettner Builds Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 The spambots are also in other areas... Quote
korpen4444 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 There's a ton of spambots in the community forum. I saw at one in the Licensed forum. And it had been making these topics all over EB. I googled it, and it had attacked forums all over the web. Scary stuff. Quote
