Then you'll act according to my complain and make sure she is completely naked?

MarkG did say "Please get a screenshot of a page of Apolyton with that ad and mail it to us along with your reasons for having a problem with it."

[klesh]

Sometimes I post at my college's library. I try to scrool down as soon as that UGO add comes on so I don't get looked at as if I'm viewing porn. I could care less what the adds are when I'm at my apartment...but some of us use these forums in public places.

No one has called me out regarding the UGO add, and I would show them exactly what site I was at. I don't care about people tellin' me right from wrong.

I am neither here nor there regarding this issue, just wanted to show how it could make a bit of problems.

Good luck getting the host to remove the add..sex sells if you haven't noticed.

I find the adds way offinsive. Like sammyboy said, this is a gameing site. I am, by the way, also a 12-year old, and as such resent goofydrew's comments. For that matter, I resent every comment goofydrew has made, not only the age ones . Apolyton needs to go to the advertising company, and put some serious pressure on it to stop the adds, especially considering that it goes to the trouble to censor words!! If nothing else, it makes the site look bad. I don't do porn sites, and I would hope that this site (which I respect a lot) dosen't do porn. I come here to talk about Civilization, not to see things I'd rather not see.

hehe - yes, sex sells!
Another one found at the top of apolyton!

[MarkG]

let's clear something out: the ad Thue posted (the first one) is advertising a no-porn site. it is NOT a porn ad. we are certainly not showing porn ads. ok?

to be more specific, the site is http://www.karli.com/ugo/ and has something to do with heavyweight boxing

[MarkG]

an additional note: a user survey last summer showed that the BIG majority of your visitors are adults, while the percentage of visitors under the age of 10 was 0(zero that is).

and sorry to say this blatant, but I'm sure that at the age of 12 or 13 you have seen much more naked parts of women bottoms on TV than on this site

Thank you MarkG - we didn't feel that our approbium was going to have any effect.

It's my typing, not my spelling that needs work. And if you notice, I said I was neither here nor there regarding this question. As far as your nonsensical ramblings about god knows what...They do not even warrant a respone.

I say keep the adds, there are bigger fish to Speer...err I mean fry here

I won't say the owners should or should not boot the ad--it's not my place; however, I do find such ads...disconcerting. As to the difficulties in removing these ads, I don't know how hard it is, but I do know it's possible. My brother has had some success getting doubleclick and flycast to listen to him with his site in this regard.

BTW, goofydrew...troll, much?

Thue is using the new mozilla Good for you.. I can't get past the bugs

[Hugo Rune]

It's not about age problems, it's about the general disrespect of women displayed in this and other ads. The woman in the ad has nothing to do with the product being sold- it is an insult to men to assume we would be attracted by this crap. It is also highly offensive in its nature, and shows a stereotype submissive view of women that runs quite contrary to the respect they deserve. I was angry at the Bikini Babes ads for boardgames at playlink, but this is worse. It is disgusting to see women be exploited in this way anywhere, and certainly not on a respectable site such as this one.

[MarkG]

silly question: why do you complain to us, who show this (offensive in your opinion) ad in order to be able to support this ((should I remind) free) service, and not the makers of the ad?

[Starchild]

On behalf of the women and gays at Apolyton, I would like to suggest that, to ensure total equality when it comes to advertising, for every ad there is showing a half naked (or fully naked) woman, we get an ad showing a half naked (or fully naked) man. Thank you.
