Excessive Force suggested we start a thread here to discuss this new forum feature. Here is a link to the original thread started by Tant01:
What's up with...
I am restating my concerns here. Some of these ads were linking to hardcore porn sites. Perhaps this has been fixed by now. I still find it extremely annoying. I don't remember giving anyone permission to use my words for advertising, although I'm sure it's buried in the "Terms of Service" somewhere.
I do
not like this new feature. It detracts from the forum experience. I'm pretty sure Danfagella wasn't talking about "hardcore pics of adult singles" when he said "passion." Not to mention it now takes more than twice as long for a page to load and I'm getting script errors on my firefox browser.
I didn't mind when the forum started putting ads in the middle of threads. Those were obviously unrelated to people's posts. But what's next? Those auto ads that drive across your screen that you have to chase down to close?
So how does everyone else here feel about this new form of advertising?
