I've seen some pretty pornographic ads the last few days, that I didnt see before. When i first came to trap the ads were farily mild and not bad at all, now they have gotten really pronographic, since i was active then left, but now im back. Really, is there anyway they can get removed. Hey i dont have a problem with some nude women , but for the underage members, or members who might have kids in the room next to them, they dontent want them to be subjected to porn! Anyway, Opaque can get thes gone!

Well the reason you see those is because your computer has cookies that have gone to pornographic sites. . If I remember correctly, the ad's system OpaQue uses cookies to display the ad's based on those cookie files. So stop visiting those porn sites and you won't see them here , that simple.

I'm sorry, really but..
Just to confirm this, i've never seen these kind of ads on trap17!

Cookies are just part of the answer.

Since Xysis is an advertisement service by Xisto, much like Adsense, so those who purchased Xysis ad service sometimes inject ads that should not be "under the terms."

Please capture a screenshot and URL. This URL link is NOT the end destination but the referral link--it's very long with bunch of characters that may be 10 or more characters or digits long.

And either send PM to OpaQue or myself.

Thank you and we apologize in advance for any discomfort.

True. There is really no need for that on Trap 17. Don't get me wrong. I like to see naked women once in awhile, but you know there are people as young as 14 that i have seen on this site.

I've never seen any type of ad related to pornography here at trap17. Even when I'm at the internet cafe, where people have been to numerous other sites, I still don't get obscene ads. I can never recall ever seeing a naked woman, I might have seen a woman in a bikini though but I'm not sure. Trap17's ads are pretty safe to my standards .

I DO NOT visit porn sites, so there are not cookies from places like that on my puter (I am the only user). However, I did catch an ad pn Trap the other day that said nobody under 18 allowed, not to click on it if you were. Well, since I am over 18 and stupid, I clicked on it. Didn't see anything too risque', but would rather not have gone there. Lets just say I didn't find the site very Artful in nature. If I catch the ad again I will PM with the appropriate info.

Edit: BTW I was shocked by some of the images I ran across surfing Imagefilez.com.

Yeah I dont look at pornoraphic stuff, but i dont think cookies are the answer because I always delete the cookies my browser make, anyway I could screen shot a couple of them and PM them to you, if you'd like!

[fffanatics]

Wow i have never seen these on any of the computers i use to access Trap17. For me, i really dont care if there are these types of ads since i just wont click on them but at the same time, they are paying for this wonderful service. If you dont like them, just dont click on them and they will leave since if they dont get hits from their ads, they wont sign up again.

I am surprised that Trap17 ads actually contained pornographic graphics. Whilst surfing Trap17, both at home and in the office, I have never encountered ads of such count before. The most was simply a girl in a bikini titled Mate1 Intimate Dating. That was the furthest it got to.

[Albus Dumbledore]

i see these ad's all the time, and i do not visit prono sites, some people may not believe me but i dont, and the reason i cant is because my parents have program on my computer that records every site i visit, takes screenshots every 30 seconds or whatever they have made it to be.

About two weeks ago i took screenshots of the many places i saw it, and sent an e-mail to abuse[@]xisto.com but no response, it might have been the wrong place, but the helpdesk is down, and i dont PM admin's but if i see them again i will PM an admin

[FLaKes]

I havent encountered anything like this on trap, but I wouldnt make a big deal out of it anyway. I didnt know that cookies could be reach so that you get the banner that fits your computer the most. That is interesting.

[wild20]

Sorry people, but I too, although I do not visit any questionable sites, see these ads. SM, lol, such harsh ridicule! Everyone knows that ads placed are often not to regulation, and it is too common. My suggestion would be to contact the ad provider with these ads. If anyone dares to, you can visit the site with images blocked and snag the URL, and grab the image, as Buffalo said.

Mate1 ads should still be removed. People (such as myself) who like high morals, will be offended. And personally, you are NOT going to lose members by putting up clean ads, but you might by putting up questionable ones.

[BuffaloHelp]

Just to be clear, cookies do decide which ads are to appear. To understand further this does not mean your computer has the necessary cookies but it can be your ISP server cache (when you view a website it's not directly from the site source but a cached page from an internet node--but that's another story).

So if your IP range recently visited some place similar that the sites track IP's, the ads might be inclined to "inject" certain ads more than others.

I never see other ads but "free web hosting by computinghost" or by Trap17... and I'm wondering if this is due to my firewall privacy control that blocks 3rd party cookies and removing private header information. My IP address is often recorded as "BlockedReferral" for most trackers. This is due to my current firewall.

Since, the last time I posted my topic on Jan 7 2007, I have not seen one trace of any pornographic ads at all! Don't know why though , maybe those ads were taken off or something, but in place I've seen more appropriate ads for this site. Maybe the reason for me seeing these in the beggining because I did visit a bikini site that had some sexual material because I wanted to buy a bikini for my girlfriend!? Or maybe I'm a porn addict and just am embarassed to admit it , anyway Traap17 still rocks

[BuffaloHelp]

Whew~

At least I know that ad companies are not injecting inappropriate materials to Trap17 any more...

Yeah, whatever reason might have been, it looks like it's been resolved. I'll leave this post open a little bit longer for other people's results.

[icemarle]

The most I got was that dating thing too... though I still find it highly annoying because my mom could peep behind my shoulder and see the ads... Then I'll have to go explain. I haven't gone to such sites either, which is strange. But I'd be really happy if I never saw them again here.

[Spyda]

The dating sites did not bother me because they are just dating it was the intimate ones becaus everytime those would pop up some how my girly friend would show up and scowl me!

[Dagoth Nereviar]

I've never seen a pornograhpic ad before I doubt they did it on purpose, of course...Perhaps one or two bad ads that "got through", so to speak

[zak92]

The issue is out of my understanding. I have never faced these ads. I dont know why and how you encountered them. Its confusing . I have never seen anything disturbing maybe because i dont go to porn sites. But i have no idea.

[cangor]

Hey, if you think about it, it's acutally a really good idea to have ads based on cookies. I haven't seen any porn or anything (sniff) but it's cool that they do that so you actually see RELEVANT ADS. I've also noticed that a lot of the ads are relevant to what is being discussed in the posts. Interesting and entertaining, if you ask me.

[Forbez]

PORN! WHERE!? I haven't seen any porn on this. Infact, the only woman I've seen is the one on the main page.

[TypoMage]

Yea I have been seeing a lot of these ads everywhere.

Edit

Oh I thought you meant on sites in general Wow nope not on Trap all I see is that same Image Hosting one

I haven't seen any ads at all on this website. Besides the imagefilez ad at the top of every page I thought this site is ad free. But somehow everybody else on this thread hasn't had any problem understanding what the topic is about. I was trying to figure out where exactly any ads showed up on this forum. Are you talking about trap17's homepage? All I see on that page is a small box ad for computing host.

[Saint_Michael]

alex this topic was about when trap17 had place ad's all over the forum to help cover costs and since the ad's were remove it hasn't been an issue for quite some time.
