The only time I see any ads is if I connect on a machine that doesn't have my username and p/w saved. And then they go away as soon as I enter them.

Which annoys me now that I realize I've been missing out on "Hot Asian Women, Anxious to Please!"

what bothers me is that I cannot tell if 42kg and 160cm is short and fat, or tall and skinny...

...and that I don't see these ads.

93#, 5'3"

Sounds like a spinner

And, the ads are not exploiting women. They are exploiting gullible men.

Look, I think that the ads are inappropriate - period. The Vancouver Sun recently ran a series of articles on sex tourism and its effects on children in the Philippines. It was pretty grim. And it's financed by middle-aged white guys from North America. And its a crime.

I know how to not click on ads. And I know how to pay to not see the ads. My point is that the administrators of this forum should be concerned about the contents of the ads that are presented here. And they should be concerned that the site may be benefitting financially from this exploitation.

I've said what I have to say.

...But from the vantage of your high horse do not apparently understand how such ads come to appear. The very act of reading articles on that topic, for example, is probably what got those ads brought to your screen.

FWIW I just logged out to see what popped up, then refreshed a bunch of times on our home pc with two different browsers. Some of these popped up many times, some only once or twice: nothing at all "adult."

eStore
Revzilla
Big Girls Bras.
motorcycle.com
suzukicycles
Motorcycle Group Buys
Bestem
Honda motorcycles
HP Printers
Ford cars
Progressive Insurance
Riders discount


By contrast the front page of motorcycleroads.us has eight ads at once, compared to two here - and only if you aren't logged in.
