You know, I've used IF for years and years now and I have never ONCE had any sort of issue with the ads being displayed on my boards.

They're fairly non-intrusive and for the most part, the content is appropriate to the forum.

But right now, on my test ZetaBoard, I am being spammed with a %$#@load of 'Protect Marriage' ads and you'll have to excuse me when I say that I take great offense to seeing something like that posted on my forum - especially when I specifically intend to make my 'official' forum one that is welcome to everybody, regardless of their age, sex, orientation, and what have you.

PLEASE DO SOMETHING about that particular ad (or let ME do something) or I will go back to using IF until the %$#@ed Prop 8 is out of the news.

Note: I do NOT have a problem with any other ads! JUST that particular one!

Please and thank you.

Valen, report the advert to Zetaboards Support and they can set a block on it, or of course, pay for ad-removal on your site. The adverts supposedly take on keywords from your site to choose what they display (so RPG forums will get RPG ads, and related content) - so it's a bit of bad luck on what you're getting it seems(!)

I wish the text-only ads would come back, too.

And yeah, I sent a support ticket/support request to the ZB team; we'll see what happens.

I wonder if IF is getting the same ads...

I have noticed that it is usually text for guests and almost always flash or image ads for members
