And you know how online advertisers work becasue.... If you are in the industry great tell me so I know wether or not to value your opinion on the subject. This is why I asked Micah.
I dont get any adds, I use adblock plus. Retractinator, SI has 4 trackers that read your cookies and puts adds in the boxes. The tackers are 'google analytics', 'FB connect', 'scorecard research' and 'double click'. you can download and install ghostery to look for cookie trackers and adblock plus to block adds......but when that elderly/Asian/puppy dating site pops up, they read your cookies and know your preferences. and I have to say some of the surf post (wetsuit choice, fin choice, etc) are some of the most boring nonsense I have ever read. Rowdiness is part of surfing, unless you are British. I will admit, it was getting unruly to the point where it may have been socially unacceptable, but I feel bad that a lot of regulars left.
No, I am saying unless YOU worked in THEIR marketing and advertising department what knowledge do YOU have on the subject? For all I know you were the maintenance man for Mosnter.com and how would I know you truly know what you are talking about? I woudl venture to say that many of us here work for companies that do online advertising but that does not mean that person is invloved in any way shape or form with it. That is why I asked you earlier what qualifies you to say how advertisers work, you gave a cryptic one sentence response of "I worked for Monster.com for 10 years" so I gave my cryptic one sentence response of "Cool good to know, but isn't Monster.com and online employment site?" That is like if I asked about a medical question and you gave an answer, I then ask what qualifications you have and you say I work at a hospital. Well great many people work at a hospital, janitors, receptionists, food service workers, should I take medical advice from them?
Yeah the ads don't bother me too much but good to know there is an easy way to block them, especially so they don't see I was on the Elderly Asian Dating site! And I agree with you about the boring threads.
Kinda, I mean I am in the business of not reading ads and Id like to help other people do likewise if they want to
Huh? I would never take anyones online advice "at their word" just as I would never get my feelings hurt by insults from someone especially on an internet forum.
I'm calling BS here with you. In the most diplomatic sense, if you're viewing this Admin. First of all, your claim, MFitz, simply isn't true: advertisers don't have either the personnel or the technology to scan forums for tone & content of posts. For example, ads don't drop off because Sandblaster & someone else are barking at each other. Secondly, since you've been posting here for several years, you may want to search your selective memory & recall that there have been several occasions when Admin stepped in, banned people, infarcted people & generally tore it up for a few weeks until the smoke cleared. Yes, I realize that I'm mixing my metaphors. And ads, again, never dropped off. I recall seeing continual ads for Toyota back when a bunch of guys were on here posting anti-Semitic & racist stuff that was far, far worse than someone pushing back to wayne or chucka-boo-boo. Finally, for you to come on here & rip a lot of guys a new one and act all righteous and core is the height of hypocrisy. The guys you're so vigorously bashing are not even able to post in their own defense. As Al Pacino once said. "Hey what a big, big man you are!" I'm not starting a pissing contest. I just think that what you're doing is weak-kneed; it speaks for itself.
Not even sure how to respond to this, chucka-boo-boo. You didn't even post (another) one of your vines threatening me with bodily destruction. It would appear that you're mellowing in your old age.
Yankee I was thinking of making a whole bunch more of my videos just for you I know you like how I targeted you with my piece of forum reality tv I got a whole bunch more of my reality tv show for you I just need to be egged on properly and the only way that happens is through hate and trolling. I enjoy the hate, it's funny as hell quite honestly but I will never succumb to the lows you go too, instead I stick to the truth and that is my glove speed, my bench and squat strength, my ability to shape materials, my supreme knowledge of secret far out Maine surfing spots, and crushing bud heavy on a week night. Yankee I got you covered. It's like in the game of lacrosse, you instantly dash for the hospital pass that r carter un athletically lobs at you then I am 15 yards off the crease showing you my glove speed.
