Are you using Chrome? Great. Because Chrome shares stuff across devices for you.

Nope

Dunno what to tell you, then. Ads are based on your cookies, so it has reason to believe you look at porn.

This. People can invent all the reasons in the world but in the end it seems like they are being dismisive and dont want to solve the problem. I never had this issue before. Something has changed.

Even if it was the reason it doesn't happen on any other site. The ads are taking over this website and something needs to be done. Ads aren't bad, just ads thay prevent you from consuming the material are.

I think folks get hooked on the quick cash from the sleezy ad companies but i woulf suggest getting gaming related ads. i use my pbone almost exclusively for gaming news so why not just have gaming ads. And tone the ads down in general.

Why do these threads exist? Use adblock.

Still shouldnt happen, it gives a bad reputation to visitors who arent forum members

I feel like the ads have gotten worse in the last few months. Its hard to close or skip them, and they keep popping up. Now it's almost impossible to view this site on a phone.

Because of how in your face and intrusive the ads are, (sometimes preventing you from even reading the content) even if it was gaming related I wouldn't be happy. So many websites know how to do advertising, this website used to be one of them.

Only just signed up as a member so I've been browsing for a while as a guest. Ads are ridiculous but were easily fixed by using adblocker. And I pretty much only just signed up to turn off people's sigs.
