I don't know if it's possible, but is there any way we can filter the Google Ads to not show plat-selling and such? I know thre's a way to filter the ads themselves, but I'm not sure whather you'd be able to do that, or if Proboards can only do it. I was just curious, since seeing those "BUY EQ2 CURRENCY NOW!" ads is starting to get on my nerves a little bit...

i hear ya..  I don't think i can change them... but I'll look into it. They have support boards for things like that. I might be able to switch the ads to travel or something  There's a way to remove them all together by paying a fee. I'll check that out too... |

I see different ads depending on what section of the forums I click on. Right now I'm seeing something for Employee Feedback, Marshall Goldsmith Newest and 360 Systems on Sale. I see the plat stuff when I'm on the main page I think. While I find it annoying too I don't think we should go as far as you forking out any money to make these go away. I know I will just avert my eyes in lieu of that..  |

No need to pay any money to get rid of em, just wondering if you could set a filter or something.  If it's gonna cost moolah, I can deal with the plat ads. |

Yeah, double checked. The only way for it to change is for me to delete the boards and start over or pay. lol |

Ouch, nevermind then. A few ads aren't worth that much hassle.

Thanks for bringing it up though. I totally know what you mean. If I win the lottery... I'll remove the ads ;D |

$7.00 per month we can host a site with its own domain name for 35 per year... Of course it would mean trying to port the forums over yuck....

If you see anything offensive or illegal, you can report the ads to Ads by Google. There's a link in the lower left of each ad, I believe. It's part of their Ad Words program.

The problem is that the ads aren't technically illegal. Breaking the EULA isn't against the law, it's just grounds for account deletion if SOE gets off it's fat butt to do something about it. Too bad it's not cost-effective for them to actually do so. :/

Well, I want to give a very, very big thank you to Rykshi. She decided to pay the fee to remove the ads! Naturally, I didn't ask her to do this. It was something she wanted to do for the whole Tairise family. Thank you Rykshi!! |
