But, in all fairness, the owner/operator of A2k has no real control over what a company uses to advertise its product on here.
So there isnt much that can be done
So, what I don't understand is how a site owner cannot have control over the ads being displayed on the site he/she owns.

Its getting back to craven again.

I saw one Obama ad, but so far nothing from Clinton.

I have firefox, too, and get no ads whatsoever. And that stupid guy yelling "Hello" is not here anymore since I switched from IE.

I have my computer set to 800X600. I only get a little bit of the side ads. I have learned to "tune out" the ads on top.

Every once in awhile I inadvertently scroll my mouse over that ad. Mr. P. comes running in. He thinks that it sounds like me, and that I am calling him!

So, apparently NONE of you can answer the question. For the record I did not mention anything about Craven de Kere Laughing

This question of mine applies to ANY site and for those that bother to read...I CANNOT change the browser on the computer since I don't own the computer.

I like learning and I had what a thought was a simple question. However, some of you have shown that you cannot even answer a question regarding advertising and websites.

OMG am I on time with the question thingy? Never mind
My real question is the ads on this site. Doesn't anyone notice them and the sex ones especially? This site has an age restriction, but no one cares about these ads?

We said we noticed them. They are not pornography, but rather PG13 to R in nature. No one is recommending child watch them and I don't think children young enough to be corrupted by them hang around here. The youngest I've seen post admitted they were 13. Thirteen year olds have seen this kind of stuff in movies and at the beach- I doubt they are permanently damaged by it.

I personally am sick and tired of them. Here is an example of one. http://hosted.zango.com/affiliates/lp/webcam/v2/webcam.htm?ref=58984
"Brunette Strips on Cam"
I can't tell you if she really does because that site doesn't support macs.

Anyone with a basic porn filter is not going to be able to view them in full. something you discovered when you clicked on one.

I don't know how these ad things work and how they support a website and I am open minded, but come on.....I can't be the only one to notice these ads. More importantly are the site owners aware of them and actually approve of them.

Website ads work the same as any ad - they make the host money. I'm sure the "owners" are aware of the ads since they do a good job of editing the SPAM posts. These ads make it possible for the site to exist without hitting up the users for money. If you don't like the ads you can go with Arella Mae to one of her Christian sites were things are much more tame.

You're funny Laughing

Thanks Green Witch for your answer Very Happy

I am just naturally curious about stuff and I couldn't figure out how a site owner could not know what ads were being displayed is all.

Well Noddy so do I, but 4 pages to get an answer, is a little much imo.

TTH--

In the early pages of this thread you learned that there was no clear, definitive answer.

This might not have been the answer you wanted--but want must be your master.

With all due respect I was told that yes, but then it didn't make sense to me that an owner of any site wouldn't know what ads are being placed on his/her site.

This told me otherwise:

So, now it makes sense and my question did get answered.

I think you were a tad late....but then you had one earlier in the cycle, so one might think of it as a month early.

Not before late April.

I may be confused on the mechanics, but it seems to me ads are fairly geared to content, often hilariously so.

I guess I've seen scantily clad chicks to the side of a thread but not often and if so I don't care. I've been scantily clad myself with some enjoyment.

Any thirteen year old reading the entire content of a2k might grow up more suddenly in many ways, including in ability to take verbal jousting.

I can't even guess how I would be as a person if I knew, at thirteen, how people could argue smartly.

I was seeing the same thing and actually getting a laugh from them, until the sex ones kept following me. They were on different forums, different pages, on the top and to the sides. Maybe they are trying to tell me something Laughing
