New Amiga Site - Retro Game and Computer

[ChaosLord]

I don't see any ads, incidentally. Do you need cookies turned on to see them?

I didn't see the ads at first either... maybe it randomly showed me some flash ads and I run FlashBlock to keep that flash crap off my computer so I didn't see them.


But today I see 3 ads on the front page and 5 ads on the Amiga page.

I think they may be targeted ads since 2 of the ads are from NewEgg and WalMart and I buy stuff from those places a lot.  So I guess those 2 particular ads are the result of my cookies.

For those who don't like all the ads: you can and probably should, install AdBlock or AdBlocker or whatever its called.  It allegedly blocks all ads and makes the internet 5x faster to use.  I have never used it but I have read a lot of good things about it.

I definitely recommend FlashBlocker.  It draws a big box with an F so you can still click on flash content if you need to but in general all your webpages will load massively faster and your cpu usage will be massively lower and you don't need to see most flash thingies.  Plus your uptime will be a lot longer without flash crashing you every once in a while.

Also one of the ads I got showed a large-busted female cleavage.  The ad itself was for some kind of video game, I don't believe these ads are targeted because I never play online video games, and I think it's reasonable to opine that this could be found offensive by some.  Of course me mentioning it is now probably going to drive up traffic to his site, from others hoping to see it!  

I got the same ad.  It says MALE GAMERS ONLY like maybe it is some kind of porno game.  I don't know what it is and no way in hell am I going to click on that.  I think Google knows we are male and therefore is targeting the ad at us.  Not because we ever played any porno gamez which of course we totally would never ever do

Being negative or trolling about everyone's ideas is not helpful. I have seen it here before and a lot of people just give up on their ideas. I am also a member of other sites and they are much more encouraging of others ideas and less accepting of trolls. So that makes me a butthead?

Dude, I never complained about your ads.  I don't care.  I was just making observations and having some fun.  I do hate flash ads because they bog down my computer and then crash it at some point but since I now run flashblocker I am immune and the flash no longer bothers me.
