the "sexy arab girls" banner ad is quite offensive and not appropriate for this board. as are the puppy mill ads. planet love match too. jeez, and now there's a banner on the bottom of the page for "thai singles", what's goin' on here??? thanks for listening.

Hum I haven't seen the Arab girls, but I keep seeing "find singles in your area" stuff - which mentions my hometown. I guess they're trying to tell me something, but I'd rather find a "single" my own way, haha.

I got the "Sexy Arab Girls" ad on top of this response screen right now. I was surprised about it being on this forum, too.

Ads pop up in some part to the subject matter of the thread or in many cases based on the viewer's history of viewing / where they visit. Some are based on your location and that is why you will from time to time see a business advertised that is based in your general area.
The ads viewed here are random from a pool of sponsors who have paid (not the owner of the forum) but the company which hosts the forum. I get ads about dog supplies and food and once in awhile puppies for sale. From time to time I will have one concerning Service Dogs mostly a site to "register or certify".

I'm an Arab girl, never saw the ad. I feel left out LOL then again if I'm one i would be more likely to look for an Arab man. Already got one of those.
![]() On a more serious note, these types of ads are just offensive and has no place on a dog forum at all. Admin can change the Google ad setting to not allow such ads.

I don't even see the ads... they are there, but I just don't even notice them. I think I learned how to tune out ads from tuning out my kids whining LOL
But.. Just an FYI, I have a Eukanuba one now

Kaspersky Virus Blocker - one of the best antivirus programs out there also blocks ads.
The only ads I ever see is the one in the top banner and that always seems to be dog related.
