I have no control over this stuff, is it Simo or Aaron?

Mind suggesting some terms for blacklisting? I'd gladly set it up, I just don't know if blacklisting "meet" or "girl" would be a good idea...

@Aaron: what's the status of this?
Comment by Winslow Dalpe (l33tunderground) - Monday, 15 June 2009, 03:21 GMT
I believe the status is inconsequential since Google Ads appears to have been removed from the site.

Maybe you have some adblock thing installed? I see them clearly on all pages in the top right corner.

Wow... I feel like an idiot now. Scratch that last thing.

I say just leave it. Most of them are on-target, and quite honestly, even those few ads are probably on-target for some segments of our community. If anyone's offended... uhh... welcome to the internet?

Can I close this?
