    Im pretty sure there were a few dodgy adds when DD was about.

    I do get what Hillbilly is saying to a degree. If you're sat on a shared computer in an airport lounge for example.

    I'd be more worried of opening a thread in the fruit or pet section with Withnallstoke down as last poster

    I saw Bettyboo lurking a few minutes ago, so be careful out there

    ^ the only 'dodgy ad' I can remember was for that pretend American 'lawyer' in Pattaya.

    I agree that posters are missing the point.

    TD was intended to be different from the other 'Thailand Sexpat Forums', hence while discussions of the 'scene' are tolerated, crap like 'trip reports' which litter other forums with blokes reviewing how many tarts they shag on their two week holidays generally get the derision they deserve.

    Likewise, TD did not take ads from pimps.

    Personally I do not mind ads on sites, sometimes I even click on them and see something I'm interested in so I am loath to use adblockers. I also believe that sites deserve to make money through the advertising money they can gain.

    But I strongly believe that the ads should be appropriate to the site you are on. Logging on to TD in public is now a worry as you never know what ad is going to pop up next.

    So, for the first time I have installed Chrome adblock. (By the way as a side effect TD renders it's pages *MUCH* faster! - So highly recommended to anyone with speed issues)

    Congratulations TD admin, if more people install this or similar, your advertisers are going to get less hits. Please think again about the advertisers you take on.

    (Now, need to find something that will do the same job for Safari on my iPad)
    You, sir, are a God among men....

    You are a God among Dwarves With Learning Disabilities.

    ^what about chrome on your iPad?

    likewise i accept the ads because it pays for the place, the pimping is getting very high profile on the pages and i get to work with some rather prudish, hypercritical conservative types. I am thinking of using an add block and therein is the issue for admin. one we install it, its there until we remove it... how likely is that to happen.

    still if the pimps ordering bigger adds, i guess there enough of a market from TD's to make it worth his while and I guess those chaps won't use the add block.

    Strangely, ad-block plus won't block the teak door ads for me on firefox and windows 7. Don't know if it's another extension causing issues. It works fine on Chrome, regardless, I've already blocked the avatars. I don't like having to remember that I'm not signed in when I use another computer or send links to someone and then find the ads are offensive to them.

    Remember the fuss when DD increased the rows of ads along the top?

    Remember the fuss when DD added advertising in after the 1 st post?

    Fuck, you're a whiny old tart HillBilly, and invoking DD's name every time you don't like something is just wank.

    Not met any that I'd care to break bread with Looper. Its been my personal experience that they're not much more than glorified "plumbers." If I didn't have insurance they would send me down the road to take whats available at the local meat market. Pay and stay, no pay, get out. Only the rich and over insured receive the best. I'm sure there's some good to be found, but I haven't found it other than they eventually get it right.

    Been on the operating table twice, once clinically dead and resuscitated at 36, other woke up in the middle of surgery and almost choked myself to death with the ventilator tube down my throat, blood everywhere and doctor's going crazy all around the operating theater, as my neck from the back was surgically open for up to 8" exposing my spine no hold downs on me and thrashing about like a well hooked mackerel. they finally got me sedated again and continued. 12 hours that one took. Yea, happy to be alive and good work by the surgeon, but if someone wants to open you up, it better be necessary and they better know what they're doing.

    God complex is quite common in their occupation. You need them, but its a crap shoot Looper. Advertisers and used car salesmen don't have you're life in their hands, thats why I rate them less risk than the surgeons.

    I adblock but if you accidentally click the hidden ad your predictive search brings up that site. This happened to me in front of my family two weeke ago with the other hooker site advert.

    Quite simple really. If you hate the new management, and can't deal with the ads, just don't log on. I don't like that porn pimp ad, but I can tune it out. I have no money invested in TD, therefore I don't get a vote in how they advertise. The only vote posters get is to stay or go. I choose to stay as long as I still enjoy the forum.

    Use the custom filter option and put this in (remove the spaces first):

    You can do that from your profile options, no need to use adblock.

    Banner Ads

    I am no prude but i used to look in on TD in my office and at home in the evening.
    Its not so enjoyable with comments from family and co-workers or customers about Escort services and Viagra on the top of the home page. Is it necessaary ?

    They know you go to Thailand - it's what they think you do anyway.

    They know I fly through BKK on my way to Cambodia,Laos and Burma 3-4 times a year.
    They know I am not married too, but I take your point.Its just that I have often referred my daughter and some friends to TD for excellent quality trip reports.

    Jaysus fuck, you reckon DD was shy about escorts and whores? Betya he never even mentioned soi yodsak or the dividing line in a certain establishment in in BKK diving girls that do or don't take it up the arse and he would never, ever have started a bargirls knickers thread, would he?
