        • I honestly fail to understand why the given information is not enough for Dan to locate the culprit. This is by no means an accusation. I just don't see what extra information we could give. On the other hand, I haven't gotten the Gator for at least 3 days now. Is anyone still getting it?

              What you have said above is fair comment, Asmodean, and by no means is any ill intent taken.

              The problem is that the technical information provided here to date unfortunately does not include any meaningful marker that I have been able to find -- be it a company name, domain, cross-referenceable identification number or what you have -- to identify the offending advertiser(s) that we have signed on .

              • And I doubt that we will ever discover the "smoking gun" since it looks like the unscrupulous advertiser is covering their tracks rather well...

                • So what Dan, how many ad services do you have? Is there any doubt that the main provider is responsible. Come on take some action.

                    • You see, it'll be tough to find the smoking gun because Apolyton does not follow ceteris paribus.

                      Comment


                      • Maybe require to see what possible URL any given advertizer could possibly link to. I know this would be difficult, but those advertizers with nothing to hide should have no problem giving out this information. Unless the companies that Apolyton has signed up with, then use subcompanies that also use subcompanies etc.

                        This sucks

                        • It's an ActiveX applet, Panag. Read what I said. Alas, it also seems to appear on MSIE only under Windows.

                          Dan,

                          just get donations and premium memberships available, and we can get rid of ads in no time.

                            I'm trying to look at this statement from all angles, all perspectives... but I fail to see why this is a reasonable suggestion.

                            • Seen the ad as well on the uni computers.

                              Again, all I could provide has already been shown by Asmodean, et al.

                              I concur with the suggestion to request that all advertisers to apolyton reveal their secondary sites. The companies that decline, you can refuse to allow them to advertise on Apolyton, on the grounds of this Gator problem.

                              • Lets see if I can do a screenshot.

                                I have a thin window for interland, that I can't close unless I drag the ad half-way across the screen. Seems very similar at first glance to the Gator ad.

                                I don't know if this helps, but I'll post it up anyway.
