Sorry, but it's not a question of "undesirable" ads, by which R'osity generally means sex displays that do not increase revenue. And I'm willing to bet that "outside ads for 2 years" is a bit of a quibble, in that the "outside ads" previously were for Poser-related companies. I'd like to hear some examples of "outside ads" run two years ago that weren't. I won't be holding my breath.
I had to see that irritating Verizon ad, which uses very cognitive gimmick in the book to force you to notice it, on three different sites yesterday in about two hours. Here it ran at least twice in an hour. That constitutes abusing your customer base. I'm planning to cancel my Verizon service when it expires, and I'll mention that ad. The fact that it runs here, and runs repeatedly, tars R'osity with the same brush: customer abusers. As far as I'm concerned, it's as "undesirable" as samples of the local sex show offerings in the mall center. And it's as likely to disappear as we are to see R'osity endorsing the Minimum Wage.
I appreciate the fact that R'osity is free, and the trend continues, it's worth every penny. BTW, your programmers can try to prevent me from blocking ads all they want. I have the best ad-blocker around -- discipline. Code around that.
