When did dating websites invade the ad spaces?
I couldn't believe what I just saw?!!! Was that spam that hacked into the system? It was some "dating" website offering Columbian women! Was that for real? Anyone else see that?

Yup, just below the forum menu. I didn't notice it at first because I was uploading images to a folder and when I hit send I looked up and there it was. Wish I had gotten a better look at it so I would have known the name and more information.

hmmm ... I think the ads are automatic and are determined by sites you may have visited or something ? For quite some time, I have only seen 'donate your car for breast cancer' - I also get the same ad on a few other sites ...  |

Mine just showed an ad for phillipionocupid.com ( incorrect spelling on purpose).
Gin is right about the spammers being on the advertise portion of the forum. It's one of several popular places they visit while on here. Makes you wonder what they're up to.
I also have to wonder why Marty is allowing it, considering all the spam we've been getting here recently.

RE: recent sites you've been on..LOL, I'm the only one using my puter and I haven't been on any dating sites, so that can't be it.

I have thought the same thing Judi it has become to much of it . I still think they are registering and using the OB server to send out spam what else would they be doing ? I also wonder why Marty allows it ..here is where they hang out

This is something else I've found many viewing . Very old post and I can't see any reason why so many of them are drawn to the post.
Oops!
