Just curious...

[Darthphere]

But from a site that touts themselves as "family friendly" is a full page ad of "Bowling Beauties on Howard TV" on the front page such a wise choice?

 

[JTIZZLEVILLE]

I was just thinking that. All the 13 or 14 year olds that browse this site could get in a lot of trouble because of some stupid banner.

 

[Arwes]

Forget the 13 or 14 year olds, think of the adults trying to read the site on their 15 minute break!

Hello Moderators,

I, like the next guy, love babes in bikini's and babes without them. But I also have a brother who has kids that he loves to visit Superherohype! with. That made me think about all the kids who visit this site.

Do you really thinks it's ok to plaster Howard Stern ads (or any ads of the like) on your main page?

Even for those fellas at work, if someone walks by and glances for a second the site (as it looks right now) it actually looks like one of those cheap adult websites.

Please don't note this as an attack. I am just curious if you really think that those kind of promos are good on a website that attracts kids as well.

Thanks for your time.

Peace,
~CHEZ

I was wondering the same thing. Does the site really need the advertising dollars that bad? Isn't this SuperheroHype?

 

[Magneto29]

haha, yea... not only guys visit this site either. But advertising is advertising. It does it's job, as I assume many will click it.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

This is lame. You used to be cool Shh!


..still are but c'mon... decency much?

 

[jaguarr]

Enough with the teasing in the ads and just start showing the nipples and coochie in vivid color, okay? Geeez!

Hahahaha!!

 

[Asteroid-Man]

and even worse... I just got an infraction for naming a japanese mushroom that has a misspelling of a swear word in it. I stand corrected, used to. Something's up and I'll get into my damn Batman costume to figure out what it is.


First I need to buy a Batman costume.

I know, right!??!! If you're going to do something, do it right.

If it's money they're after, full on secks and boobs will get more click-throughs than anything else. It's science!

"Come on kids! The deathmatches are back! Who are we choosing, TEDDY or JAL? QUICK!"

 

[Nirvana]

It doesn't seem like that big of a deal...

 

[Magneto29]

It wouldn't be as bad if it was just a banner on top. It's more so that it takes up the entire page...

I think parents have more to be concerned with than banners. The content of this message board, for one. This joint rides a fine line between hard PG-13 banter and just flat out grossness at times. We often forget this is an all ages place.

Therein lies the problem Terry, how many people have been banned or gotten in trouble for posting in a manner that is not inherent with the "family friendly" orientation it's striving for? A lot. Then, you have this. I mean, it's just a matter of practicing what you preach. Those ads do not coincide with the ideals that this site strives for.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

The banners, I believe are automatically and randomly generated from some sort of advertising plan of some sort, or something like that. Mirko, as far as I know, doesn't choose the ads.

 

[knowsbleed]

I see no banners. I guess I missed out on the scantily clad bowling fun.

 

[Showtime]

Didn't you miss out on most of the late 90's?

 

[knowsbleed]

Actually... yes I did. I have no idea where or what I was doing from about 97-2000. Curious and curiouser.

 

[The Evolutionist]

There are many options open to people to block any and all banner ads, and if you're at work and concerned about people looking over your shoulder, perhaps you should avoid coming here at all on your work computer.

So that makes it ok, nothing to see here, everyone move along.

The thing is, it's not a banner ad, it's the background image on the page.

The thing is, it's not a banner ad, it's the background image on the page.

Even then, using Firefox and Adblock Plus, I don't see any ads on the page.

And to clarify, I'm not saying the ads belong on the site, I'm simply stating that there are other ways of handling it.

 

[Joker]

I already made this thread once...I had a few of the banner ads saved in my photobucket...let's see if they're still in there....

Nope, doesnt look like it.
