Cat Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I was going to post the same thing... I understand the need for advertisements for my favorite Bengal's forum... but I want that guy who recorded that ad dead now. At least can we get a different ad when we click on a different post?

T-Dub Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 While we're bitching about ads, I also can't stand the "You have 3 new messages" ads. Not that I'm stupid enough to click on them, but maybe if I wasn't used to message boards... Like someone else said, I understand the need for a banner ad or 3 to keep the site alive, I just wish there weren't so many for these various phishing/scam websites.

#22 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Scams? I play my free Wii all the time, mostly while listening to my free Ipod and getting TJs from that 35-22-35 19 year-old girl I met on Adultfriendfinder.com. Later, we swim like Scrooge McDuck in the all of the money I've made from those nice Nigerians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
