| | | What is with the mods here taking stuff so seriously? Chill out man! Nobody is insulting anyone, no personal attacks going on, just a little non-offensive fun. That's why people come to forums like this, to have fun!

That's why people come to forums like this, to have fun! | It is what we are asked to do by Buck Satan to keep off-topic posting minimal and mainly confined to the Speak Your Mind forum, where there are plenty of threads for going off-topic.
People comming to the board to find answers to their gaming problems (ei. non spam-threads) don't want to wade through post after post not relevant to the topic at hand, just to find the answers they need.
If you dislike current policy, then you can contact Buck Satan and express your concerns, in which case he can change the policy if he deems it needed. But untill then.... Quote: |

I don't like ads period.... On TV and on the internet.
I have also noticed the number of ads - sometimes loud, popping up everywhere while I'm reading a page. It does annoy me, but there is a CLOSE button on most and you can close them up, that should solve your problem.

Although, the thought of my little sister seeing such a thing before a certain age does make me hope it has been at the times listed above and not during the middle of the day.

| That depends on whether the CLOSE button is real. |

| | | I've now seen three different versions of this ad, and it looks pretty border line to me, so I've dug this old thread up.
I've gone through several pages and encountered ads for some site called 'True'. Although I'm fine with these myself, they seem to be a bit close to going across the line, since it appears that the major slogan so far is "Single and Waiting For Some Action" with several woman dressed in... fairly litte.
I decided to check it out, and it leads to a page that has a warning at the top that you had better not be married or a convict, or you can be charged for fraud. Since I didn't really want to visit in the first place, register, or do anything of the sort, I didn't go past that part, so I don't know what the content was.
Given that they don't want the people to be married, I might be a bit worried over the motivations of the site... or what imagry is allowed.

| | | I agree with Hill. These ads are bugging the crap out of me to be honest. |

| | | I concur with OS and Hill...
I'm pretty liberal where ads are concerned, but those "True" ads are definitely borderline. I know I'd be concerned if I saw my son clicking on one... and this is supposed to ba an all ages site....

| | Since I happen to be here for a HijackThis logfile thing, I decided to make a swerve through here and post this up.
I'm wondering whether or not an ad like this is age appropriate for GameBanshee? Unworthyad.jpg

| | | I am completly baffled, while I mean no disrguard to anyone, 99% of the games covered here at least in the forums are 15+ are they not?
Many of the most popular titles if not the most popular are 18+, Sith Lords and Bloodlines the 2 most popular froums in the last 2 years.
I do not understand this at all, while this site may try to cater to younger audience than the titles of the actual games covered how can you possible expect not to see Seduction on the Internet, period?
Its in every grocery store, Video Rental, on TV advertisements, in Soap Operas and Prime Time Sitcoms.
BTW I am speaking of the US in case its different in other countries.
Sex is the most popular Human activity, How the Hell or Why Hell would/could you stop it?
This is nothing personal, but if sex or sexual situations offend you, you should consider talking to someone like a Scientist, Dr, Pharmacist or Councelor.
I can't imagine how you could exist in these conditions, though if you intend to continue attempt this Soicial Disconnect you will need to disconnect from society; Newpapers, TV, actually 90% of Media and certainly the Internet.  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
