  • Either Poly has gone camp or the Internet has decided I'm either a woman or gay

    I now get banner ads with photos of single men from dating sites. WTF? This has never happened to me before.

    It's very off-putting to say the least.

    Are we all getting the same ads?

    Do you get ads that make you cringe and wonder how the profilers decided they were right for you?

    Is there anyone I can contact to straighten (excuse the pun) this out?

    I don't get any ads. (Except for tv, radio, walking, driving, etc.)

        Did you let the missus surf with your machine? I'm still getting, 'Dressing for Success' ads and ads for "Glee". So I know everything is ok. Oh, and 'weight loss ads'.

              During the time you were off, this site specialized as a gay Civilization site, so that is the reason for ads. If you post here the internet thinks you are gay.

                I haven't seen any ads in years. Adblocker for the win.

                  No ads on the mobile theme it seems.

                  You can't fool Google's algorithms ... certainly not by posting on a site that's usually all-male and where dickgirls are a common topic of discussion,

                        AmEx ad. Frequently ads to gaming sites. I think it might have to do with the thead you're on.

                          firefox + abblock = win

                          flashblock and noscript if you really want to shut those bastards down
