Has anyone noticed how most of the ads on this board (the ones near the top) have something to do with cartoons, yet the main board nearly always shows ads for gay online dating? What's that all about?

As much as I don't really get it myself, there'll always be ads on most webspace and forums that you get for free. I'd love to be able to pay for the site to go ad-free, but I don't have the means [debit card] to do so.
If anyone doesn't want to see them of if they're being nasty to your browser [which shouldn't happen], I recommend switching to Firefox and using the AdBlock Plus plug-in for it.

My adverts are mostly in italian: sometimes they are only written, other times they are a full color animation; the written ones are especially cartoon or books related, or about sites that sell gothic stuff (of course, we are in a vampire site!) The animated ones are only 3: the first shows jewelry, the second shows a car brand, and only the last one is about online dating, but nothing gay! They do not annoy me, there are worse things in internet!

Everything is fine here! I have some written ones about vampires, books, fanfiction and cartoons. Only these, and nothing more.

Not pop-ups or anything - just a thin strip right above the message board main. It used to vary a lot, but recenlty it's ALWAYS about gay dating! When one clicks on a message or thread, the adverts change to 4 small adverts which vary more and usually bear some relevence to the message you're reading.

Yeah Gaston, I see the gay-online dating thing too. It bothers me a bit because it is always there. Quite annoying actually. But I must admit, the other smaller adverts that you mentioned are more relevent.

It's not really relevant is it? And the most annoyin thing is that the ads don't change! Just the same creepy people staring at me!

Well, some of the adverts that do come up are something to do with whichever topic we are discussing but yes, the creepy people staring are definitely off-putting. I just saw one that was to do with Polish Dating...er....

Gay fan fiction - that's another one that comes up. No creepy image though.
