Exclamation What's up with the hot asian chick ads?

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind them at all!!!! I'm afraid of two things:

1. I-club becoming a banned site internally so I can't surf during lunch at work. **** is banned here, and should be at work.

2. My manager stopping by while that ad appears on my screen.

Granted, BAIC is the most surfed main link in the forums, but is there anyway to block it out?












And on a seperate note, that chick is NICE, I think I can see her kidneys from here.

Not a valid option for me. I can't build GTK in my homespace and I can't install firefox without GTK.

This issue also concerns me. I started a thread a while back saying the same stuff and it was deleted.

advertising depends on people seeing ads. any notion to rid of ads across alot of members is going to be looked down upon by admin.

Yeah, I've wondered the same thing. Pretty bizzare sponsor, given how draconian the rules on this forum are.

2nd: that chick is fugly. You cats need to buy some new glasses.

Not 100% right. Advertisers only pay for advertisements on sites that people visit. If I stop coming here because I find the advertisements objectionable (or more importantly my workplace finds it objectionable), than the site gets less traffic and less ad revenue.

I like fark, but I don't go there at work. If i-club keeps putting up bad ads, I'll stop coming here at work.

I probably won't be the only one.

i see what youre saying. i guess if the advertiser still knew that this site gets alot of traffic, they wont know/care if people are blocking the ads

Have you tried running the binary packages? What distribution are you running?

Its a PITA, but if you are running on a BSD or Linux system and need something, just change the paths in the makefile, and configure script.
