You guys know what I mean, the BLAH! Hello I'm an annoying flashing ad ones like the one in the first post do get annoying!
Stuff like:

is just fine. It blends in fine and I'm sure linking to the O2 shop won't go and stick a tracking cookie in my computer like the other would.

Well not all sites need such blatant ads to survive and as I said before I believe laffen makes money from this rather than "staying afloat"!

I'm not trying to cause trouble but lets have perspective.

If the pornographic/adult site ad's were removed I wouldn't have a problem.
My concern is that there is a lot of different age groups and people from diverse backgrounds who come on here.
For as long as I've been here on Esato there has been a restriction on this type of content and I think it could continue that way.
In some countries it is acceptable an normal for them to be advertised but surely Laffen realises that Esato has greater a worldwide userbase than just parts of Europe.
Personally I think this needs to be put a stop to. There are plenty of sites out there and that sort of content can be easily found without it fouling this site with its adverts.

Serving pornographic ads on the mobile version of Esato should not happen. The thing is that I do not have control of every single ads served. Esato has agreements with several ad-networks and they server different ads depending on the visitor locating / country.

I will take necessary steps to prevent this from happening again. Please send me a PM if you see any of these ads again.

I'd agree about adult ads- not really suitable for an "all-ages" site. However suggesting people use adblock makes me a little uncomfortable. Yes, I have some google-ads on my site but I don't make a huge amount off it. It covers the hosting though. If everyone used adblock and I got zero income, I might not bother to renew the site one year, which is a shame as it has some content that I have spent a lot of time on that I make freely available for others. I know a lot of sites rely on income from adverts - so think twice before suggesting everyone gets rid of them, otherwise you may suddenly find no content for you to have!

Personally I don't mind banners at the top of the page, nor do I get annoyed by Google ads. What does bother me is when adverts become too intrusive, for example a banner between EVERY post on a BBS, or even worse, those bloody 'Intellitext' links; where certain keywords produce a pop-up box *every* time you mouse over them. Any site that uses that kind of advertising deserves to be boycotted. Ads are fine, but they need to be placed on the page sparingly. Shoving pop up ads or banners in my face at every opportunity is not going to make me want to click one!!

Everyone in the world is out to make money, thats the purpose in life of this, and last the 10 or more generations.

So I think it's perfectly acceptable for Esato to make profit. It's not just here for our freebie enjoyment.
