Strange ads... do they get the text of the post and slap em in google? The iraq threads have stuff on iraq, the pakistan thread on muslim dating, this one has civ3 ads...

But yes annoying wouldn't cover the half of it, though i can see some good screenshots vcoming over the next few days when ads and posters don't seem to be a natural fit.

I'm waiting for Che to say something bad about capitalism, only for him to have an ad for some over priced American product in it

This could be fun

It assumes you've been occupied again.

Why do you go out of your ****ing way to make ads the most obtrusive possible, MarkG?

Either you're a ****ing moron or a sadist.

You know what I find funny? The fact that he can get money for displaying these ads when he knows for certain that no one is paying attention to them.

[EDIT] AHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHH! ------->
[EDIT 2] Ok, now's its gone...I'm getting scared

What's even more funny is it forced me to turn on adblocking, while I had it off before.

Mark. Please take them off. They are getting in the way of text. What's the point of having adverts if they get in the way of posted information?

some explanations

1) it's OT only
2) it had a randomness of 1 out of 5 posts, now it's 1 out of 10
3) one of the aims of the experiment was to see how good google works with our forums. i was displeased by geting civ3 ads in OT threads(and i still do get them, i guess location matters), still i see other people have had other results. please keep postng attachments
