If someone underage clicks on one of those links, and it goes to porn or a place where adults might take advantage of them, it's inappropriate regardless of orientation.

Political Ads in OT

I didn't think I'd see it happen but I did. Politics fundamentally embedded into the fabric of OT. We've all gotten infraction points when things get out of hand; but now the politics are being pushed from the server side.

I was just in the thread about Global Warming and there was an ad for John McCain. I understand that this is probably not on purpose and is probably caused by AdSense or DoubleClick; but come on, this is BS.

I personally feel unless the rules have changed, or will be changed, ads supporting either candidate should not be permitted. I understand its Paul's site and I really have no say in how things are done and run, but I thought I may as well voice my opinion.

Thoughts?

Another thread has just been started on the subject. Forum admins are on the lookout for a gay chubby transsexual wearing a Fair Trade T-Shirt made out of 100% bio cotton.

yes, these are inappropriate in the adult-nature of the services they offer (not to mention the simple fact that dating sites should not be advertised on talkbass period).

Although you got to admit that advertisements for dating sites is kind of like shooting fish in a barrel when it comes to a site made up of pleasantly dysfunctional bass players.
