No live links allowed...

[SebsiBC]

Live links are disallowed, but they put a banner ad on the forum?

That is some good irony.

Hopefully they use some of the ad revenue to continue to improve the service... or get rid of them altogether which frankly is the preferable option. You're outing us to Google with these ad's.

the ads are not splattered all over the boards. They are in one place and one place only.
No big deal really.


Live links are a completely different story concerning what a live link can do.

The ad is a link, it sends referral info when clicked, and because they're google ad's Google tracks all of us with unique identifiers. Even if we don't click on the ad's, their mere presence here allows google to track us and identify us as users of this service.

It ain't the end of the world, but it lacks foresight and frankly has the potential to put end users at risk over the long term.

well, too late for that bro. You been tracked every minute of the day weather you know it or not.

Do you have a smart Tv or a smart phone ?
Do you walk on any city street?
Do you have an xBox or Skype or any microsoft service ?
Do you use a cell phone ?
Do you run windows 10?
Do you use a direction service in your car?
Do you use GPS ?

The list goes on and on and on ....

Tracking your browsing habbits thru a google ad is the least of your worries my freind :)

But do we really need to help them do so, just to make a buck?

i hear yea on that my freind.

And it prolly is temporary.
Most likely we will be again supporting a site sponser soon enough

All good, and if I'm honest I don't personally worry about it much as Canada has been ripping off American tv for decades, essentially unopposed. It was just one of those things that made me say hmmmmm. Lol
