Maybe innappropriate was the incorrect word, more like unneccesary?

In that case we only need like one ad; Habbo since it relates to Habbox. Habbox need lots of ads because without them they lose money and I'm pretty sure the 'majority' of people on here use/have tried and Habbo would would then render that ad 'unnecessary'. :)

I understand that but you are forgetting the many different sub-forums... They could advertise hosting etc anything to do with games... anything to do with online games etc... Other MMORPGs and whatever you count habbo as.... So there are plenty of things you could advertise....

EDIT - I wonder if they would allow it in my signature as a link? Interesting haha

Maybe some people aren't interested in all of that. It's not fair to older members if ads that interest them are removed.

A link to that gay dating site? Yes you would be allowed since it does not contain any inappropriate material.

Yes well if you can prove that a significant number of people find sites like dating sites interesting too them then fine, but I still stand by my original post...

I think there used to be a thread somewhere called "report inappropriate ads" but I'm not sure what happened to it.

You just PM ---MAD--- now, I think. :)

I'm not sure how the ad is inappropriate?

Neither do i, are you afraid of gays?

If the ads are bothering you just use this Firefox Add-on, I got it a while ago after someone mentioned it in a simular thread to this. Just blocks all unwanted ads, it's rather useful :).

Unfortunately we have no control over the nature of the adverts that are shown in that banner because they're all controlled by Google AdSense. :( We can't exclude certain adverts and allow others, the content of the banner is entirely at the discretion of Google.
As already said, they correspond to whatever is on the page using specific keywords, that very same advert is now showing up on this page because you've evidently typed in the same keywords. They only real way to avoid them altogether is to use the software posted above or not browsing into threads that are likely to contain the keywords that may trigger the adverts (I know this may be difficult to avoid because you don't know the content of the thread before you view it but you can still do your best to reduce the likelihood of seeing on of those adverts. ;))
