I understand the forum needs to pay for itself. But I find this ad offensive and would like to know if the owners of the forum are vetting who they sell their ad space too.

I can definitely understand why that is offensive. It's just insensitive.
 
I was thinking the same thing the first time i saw that. I followed the link, its just further infertility treatments. what an asshat way to get people's attention though
 
:shock: OMG that ad hasnt popped up for me yet. thank god it hasnt, because i would probably refuse to come back to this site until that ad is removed if it hasnt been already.
 
that is bad :nope:

ive got this one at the moment and wudnt dare click it :?

i havent seen it in a few hours, maybe it's been removed
 
I thought the adds were personalised as I always seem to see ones for sites that I have looked at like gumtree and icandy etc?

I was looking at 3 the mobile site earlier and now a 3 add is there..
 
My current ad is for Corsodyl.

I saw the working from home one and thought it bad taste given that they are always scams and we have vunerable women on here that struggle with money.

I thought they were tailor made too... but I've never searched for working from home schemes or loans or similar to make that ad appear for me xx
 
I got a target one. But :shock: at the infertility one. WTF? Advertisers need to be nicer. :/
 
same here, and there's no one else here using my laptop to bring those up.. Unless Gemma is doing it when I'm not looking.. :rofl:

I've noticed LOADS of "spam" advertising there a lot the last few days, never used to be like this :shrug:
 
They arent governed by us, they are Google ads, we as a forum dont have any control over them.

Im not sure how much say we can have as to what they advertise, i will have to ask Stircrazy.
 
I've noticed loads more of these spammy ads just lately too.... :s
 
I love the dating ads that come up. come find your one true love or some sorta crap like that!
