Roman Orgy on Simtrop?

[SimCoug 5,973]

I had to laugh when I saw the ad... 'one click for a Roman Orgy!'

What happened to PG 13

(not that I'm offended... intrigued maybe...)

I've also seen ads for "local singles" and those "bad idea" t-shirts (which can be kind of skimpy).

It is a little weird seeing these on the site, but they have to pay for all this somehow.

We don't have 100% control over the ads that appear on the site, but ads like that shouldn't appear, because they're supposed to be filtered.

[Indiana Joe 1,750]

I do see some pretty sketchy ads sometimes.

[SimCoug 5,973]

This is the first one I've seen promising an orgy

But I have been seeing a wider diversity of ads lately, which I assume is bringing in some $$$ - so that 's a good thing.

[Mr Saturn64 742]

It's pretty questionable, actually. Oh well.

[Wustmann 174]

as long as you don't click on the roman orgy ad....

[Halen Of Dania 350]

I get alot of ads for sexy hot asian ladies but that is understandable.

Where are you seeing these? I have not seen them.

It is possible you have adware that has taken over our nice Sim City ads.

[nycsc4 5,250]

I would be willing to bet many of these ads are catered directly to the end user and not the Simtropolis community as a whole. I see many of the same ads on this site on other sites as well. Different people see different things.

Generally this type of advertising "tracks," for lack of a better word, your web activity and then caters the ads to you based on that previous activity. That's probably what a lot of you are seeing here.

Not that I'm implying anything, SimCoug.

[TekindusT 3,809]

In fact there's nothing to be implied. SimCoug could have been looking lately for information for a trip to Rome, for example, or Halen of Dania may have been looking for Asian K-Pop videos lately. I'm tired of watching ads of snowboarding boots and SKF mechanical bearings (I needed to use some for a mechanical project). They all depend on what you type on Google and its associate sites.

Well, well. Seems I don't see any of this stuff. Linux pays off again.

[SimCoug 5,973]

Actually, almost every ad I see is video game related, and perhaps the ad in question is too - although I don't play any MMO type games so I can't say for sure...

I understand 'tracking' but It seemed to me that Simtrop ads were fairly unique to this site. Whereas, news sites are much more diverse in ad content.

[Meg 368]

I see three ads:  The Settlers Online, the SC4 DVD, and Cities XL.   and I google lots of things.

 

I really think you guys have adware that has attached itself.  It has happened before.

[Forthwall 1,118]

I usually just see the CD ads, those games are not really MMO's, they are usually medieval online city builders with misleading ads

You might want to clear the browser cache if you haven't done so.  About 10 minutes ago, everything was running fine, then the site stopped rendering properly.  I flushed the browser cache and some ads I hadn't seen before popped up, along with site glitches that hadn't been there before.  Another cache flush and everything was back to normal again.

Well, well. Seems I don't see any of this stuff. Linux pays off again.

Same case here, the adds that I see are only text. Adblock disabled only for ST.
