I'm freaked out!

Anyone else freaked out by the ad for teeth whitening on the right hand side? Yikes! I'm saddened to see this stuff. What the heck has this site become if they'll take ANY advertiser regardless if it applies to thirdgens or even cars at all?

Firefox + ad blocker.. I don't see any ads, even when I am not logged in.

Maybe they think thirdgen owners have poor dental hygeine?

That is nasty.


I forgot about ad-blocker.

Right click on the ad, click on ad-block, gone!

Re: I'm freaked out!

i wonder if tgo was bought by internet brands? if so, we may be in store for what just happened at ls1tech, EVERYONE there (including me and 90% of their mods and a lot of the user base) is jumping ship to planetlsx because of dumb ads and the way they are running the site

fake edit: 500 posts! woot!

Re: I'm freaked out!

I'm used to seeing stuff like that on other websites, like fashion etc, so I kind of ignored it.

But now that I think about it, why are there teeth on a car page???
Besides they are not very nice teeth even aftward.

Re: I'm freaked out!

Yep pretty cheesy that a car forum has teeth whitening ads. Greedy site owners.

Internet Brands bought out thirdgen.org about 2 or 3 years ago.

The ads are generic ads that come from Google, not thirdgen.org. If you notice at the bottom of the ad it says "ads by Google".

If you have a problem with one of them, you can post a message in the "Problems/Help/whatever its called" board and ask that it be removed.

No, "random junk" doesnt belong in this forum. If its related to thirdgens and/or automotive things happening in SoCal, then you can post it here. The regional boards are more relaxed than the other tech boards, and I'll let some things slide, but there is no "anything goes" forum on thirdgen.org.

If its totally off-topic, then you can use our club's website forum at http://www.sc3g.org/
