Hey MODS, can you do something about the creepy PEDO ads?
For some reason there's an ad running with a shirtless, muscular 10 year old on every single page. Its creepy, wrong and a little gay. I know you have a lot of democrats here but still, I'm looking at Corvetteforum, not Tinder for kids. Could you find some more appropriate way to generate revenue? Thanks.

Even worse, when somebody responds with just a smiley, that ad takes up the entire field making it look like the poster put a smiley and shirtless boy as a response. Seriously, who OK'd this!?

LOL ...
On another note ... I think those ads are generated by one's country, location and browsing habits ... maybe you visited some site with that shirtless muscular 10 year old being one of their ads .. and now it follows you on the net, as it does here ... my guess is --- after a while it will go away .. just don't pay attention ... ignore it kinda.

I don't use Google, I'm not being tracked, I clear my cookies (specifically not to be tracked) and I don't shop for suppliments. I've also never seen that ad anywhere but here.

Any site you visit can place a Pixel in your browser.
Then the site collects revenue from Google for allowing them to place ads in front of you.
That's what I do for a Living.

Although you may not believe it but, as pointed out, that ad is not specific to CorvetteForum. And CorvetteForum didn't make the ad. It's an ad part of a network which means it is in fact on other sites.

Advertisements are automated. What ads you view are different from everyone else. It's not an intentional decision by some human.
Might be able to reset your ad queue by deleting temporary internet files with your browser menu. Or do some internet searches for things that interest to dilute your ad queue with new hits so these offensive images don't show up anymore.
If that doesn't work it was probably the Russians

Cleared my cookies, blocked everything, worked backward, found the source. It came from Drudge. Apologies to Corvetteforum.
Still totally awful though.
