Politically Offensive Banner Ads

[TheAuldGrump]

Sending in two of the URLs, I could not get the other two ads that I have seen to show their ugly faces.

The first thing you see when clicking the ads is a 'give us money' page.

The weird thing is that I do not remember getting nearly as many political ads during the 2008 election....

*EDIT* And having sent in the URLs I suddenly start getting ads for Gaming Paper. I think I will order a roll, simply because it is not those Stand For Marriage ads.

Mr. Healey responded with amazing speed. And has blocked the URL.

I would like to publicly thank him for the speed of his actions.

I have one very minor ad glitch. The ads for Bright Shadow (brightshadow.gamespotusa.com) do not pop into a new window/frame when clicked on like all the other ads do. It's not a big deal, but it's a little annoying to lose the page you're viewing when you click on the ad.

I'm not sure I follow you. Can you be a little more specific? Are you saying that, when you go to http://brightshadow.gamepotusa.com/ you end up in the same window, as opposed to a pop-up or another tab?

I spotted one ad from the opposite side of the Question 1 debate this morning, but have not been able to duplicate it since getting home. While this time I agree with the stance, it still does not belong here.

In any event it seems to be gone now.

I thought I'd write and let you all know that we have a number of new advertisers on EN World:

Gator Games: An American Retailer

Starlit Citadel: A Canadian Retailer

GUBS: A kid-friendly card game

Castle Games: Makers of The Portable Galactic Empire

Mind Storm Labs: Publishers of the Alpha Omega RPG

Miniature Market: eTailer with a wide selection of minis

Feel free to visit them and check out their products (if they interest you).

And so is election Tuesday, so hopefully we won't see anymore political ads until next October.

I've had some outstanding experiences with Miniature Market.
If the others are half as reputable and outright awesome as Miniature Market you have attracted a fine lot of excellent retailers to ENWorld.

One can dream, right?
