As discussed in a couple of other topics today, it looks like LJ's has made a few changes to the way they advertise. Unfortunately the ads I'm getting are not really appropriate. Unusual because I've never had anything like this show up on LJ's before. Here's a screen shot:

Kind of embarrassing to open this up at work. Hope it's not going to be a permanent change on LJ's.

OH HELL NO THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND CERTAINLY NOT APPROVED BY ADMINISTRATORS!!

Please send MsDebbieP an e-mail with/without screenshot "URGENT ATTENTION REQUIRED". Then flag as spam.

nwbusa "It seems that Lumberjocks does condone such ads, since they are being allowed in the forums".

I believe it's spam and here's why.

I can understand the frustration. After all, this is a WW site for Gods sake. But it's just boobies tightly packed in a double barrel sling shot. Not really a big deal but hopefully management will get that stuff off of here.

WARNING… do not turn on your TV. You may see the same kind of advertizing…. and probably worse….

I will say this again, again, and again. LJ's does not condone these ads, and they will stop. This has happened before. Please be patient. We lost some valuable members over this years ago, and this is the first time it has happened since to my knowledge.

If Target can be forgiven for allow millions to lose valuable data to hackers, LJ's should get a break. It is a continuing war with these criminals…..........

I find it interesting that Manitario uses the abbreviated form of "what the Fu**" and body cares, yet your upset with a girl in a bra. You don't think kids know what :WTF: means. Kids are the masters of text messaging and know exactly what WTF means.

i'm thinking the ads are running amok from some new programer to LJ's
(like a new broom)
but because of the 3 day MiLK holiday
we may not see any changes till those guys come back
maybe monday or tuesday
and notice all the ads replicating
and running over the site
it could be hackers

or even the NSA

like jim said
let's be patient and see

david is telling it like it is. I don't like the ads. I don't like any ads on the web. But, its like Jim said - "They have to pay the bills." . . . . and really guys, are you so spoiled that you have to throw a fit just because a web site isn't being operated the way you want it to. Some LJs need to take a "chill pill". Or maybe a zan would be more helpful.
