<--any reason for the porn movie advertisement?

---

So, is this site intensionally peddling porn now?

Yeah.. Isn't that what this audience wants?This site uses an Ad service. It doesn't specify the ads or content that know of. I don't know how the service works though.

I'm bored and curious...This site uses another site called tribalfusion.com for their advertising. It uses JavaScript to rotate the banner ads. But when I look into this porn ad, it looks like it's been placed there purposely. It's imbedded in the table that holds the side image links (menu in the left frame) and it's a regular link, not JavaScript. And the ad image url is coming from afraidtoask.com's main image folder. What's even more interesting is the link directs to the movie page and on top of that page, there's a forward link to the Masturbation Guide here on afraidtoask. This new ad is not in every section under afraidtoask, just a few.Someone's been playing with this site's HTML.ADDED:Nevermind, it seems that it was put there purposely, but I just never bothered browsing through the entire site. That ad link is the same links in the Masturbation and Pornography page.

Hmmm.... I never looked at that page. I sent an email to the owner.

I hope the adds are removed soon. This site linking to porn makes me feel rather uncomfortable answering questions that minors have. It sorta scuttles the whole thing of a safe place for Q & A that remains above the fray.

Yup same here, which is why I never noticed these links.

Look forward to seeing what the owner says.

Quote:uhhhh. forums eat up very little bandwidth.Perhaps I exaggerated a bit, but depending on what kind of forum, yes they can eat up quite a bit of bandwidth. Because this isn't a media download forum and the image tags are off, that saves alot. But because there's a lot of traffic, your guess is as good as mine when it comes to the acutal bandwidth consumption.And what's TB? I thought it should be MB/GB?

TB = terabyte.. = 1000 GB

1 TB (terabyte) = 1024 (or 1000) GB.

Lol, thanks you two.
