Anyone else notice these gay ads?

Anyone else notice the gay ads on these forums? And I do mean gay. Love and Pride gay jewelry store. This ad with some half naked wet men. For crying out loud... lol Is there something you guys aren't telling me about this community?

Not everyone sees the same ads on the same forum thread. Either they're random, or it's based on data mining that monitors your specific internet activity, identifies trends, then displays ads associated with your activity. Not trying to imply anything, just saying that's how these things work.

Beyond that, you can disable all ads if you're using Firefox via an add-on called Adblock Plus. Works great. It's like driving down the highway and not seeing billboards.

most of the ads I see involve either paintball, airsoft or the actual armed forces (not just the US)

Yeah I see all those ads most of the time too. I don't block them because so far I've been too lazy to bother, and because they don't really bother me. Till this gay one...

Ads? What ads?

Nah, seriously, if they bother you (or you don't want to admit that you like them), either get a blocker or donate to the site.
