Im sorry but this is really, really bugging me now, who chooses the adverts that link on here, ive just logged on, and had to press F5 four times, FOUR bloody times as first the half naked ripped twelve year old boy advert popped up, then the old bloke, then the same old bloke from another angle, then the the young (underage looking) boy pops up again, finally another advert appears and i can then think about looking at the forum!

I like this place, i like the people, but why the hell should i look at what i class as, distasteful, almost homosexual, peadophillic porn 'adverts' when i want to be looking at old bikes?


Ive put up with this for a while now, and I am not the only one as i have seen a couple of other thread appear, then be deleted as they either werent worded correctly (i.e. without swearing) or just simply arent accepted by the powers that be, as it undermines their money making mightiness, but why, we are the members, without us this place would be a ghost town, and i know i am not the only one being pissed off by the adverts in general, but do we have to be subjected to such distasteful ones in particular?

The answer is no btw, as i know how and why these sites are run, i am staff on a similarly themed, car website, we do not have adverts, and the ones that are shown on here, would leave the posters of such adverts to be banned for posting such images in general!

Can something be sorted please as i for one am finding i spend less time on here now, and the only reason being, is these annoying adverts!
 
i have raised this with the other Mods, i don't know if it's possible to get more specific ads on the site but i hope it's possible to avoid getting adverts that offend.
 
Here's the problem I have with the ads - so I'll be on a page on retrobike, and just as I've clicked on a (forum) link, I spy an advert that I want to follow.

Then I keep refreshing the page hoping it will come back, but often it's one of those inevitable situations where it won't come back. It's happened a couple of times, and hitting back won't necessarily return the same ad.
 
I assumed it was because I'd been searching for 'old blokes with muscles taking selfies with an iphone' when I was drunk again...

Just seen one for painless facial hair removal.

I have a beard; I find this worrying.
 
hmm... i'm getting adds for surround sound amps and speaker packages from local (to me) companies... as thats what I have been the googling for... or jenson usa

I thought it was tied in with searches, what have you guys been searching?!?! :)
 
Yeah just look for some car tyres every now and again. (and stop looking for steroids) lol
