Anything We Can Do About...

Postby QuietStorm » Mon Apr 16, 2007 4:33 pm

...the Advertisements with the half-naked girl modeling the tiny swimsuits?

My co-workers keep thinking that I'm visiting naughty sites. And if that keeps up, I won't be able to visit or play.

The Transistors, RPG, and Toy Store ads are okay, but the bikini village ads need to cease and desist.

Word.

I don't think there is anything to do other than rescale the page so that it is only visible if you scroll all the way over.

For what it's worth though, I have had the same concern.

Same here as well. I just told them that I was doing my swimsuit shopping early. I would however love to be able to block the pictures that I don't want to see and never see them again. I believe with IE its either a everything or nothing type deal. I remote to my home computer from work so I can get around the web filter and anything that has any motion on it tends to slow my connection down a ton.

They're pretty much controlled by Google ads. I don't think even Ryan has any control over them.

Bummer. Mega-bummer.

My boss has come over twice and asked me about my internet site visits. If it keeps up, I might get a verbal and/or written warning.

We're only allowed to use IE, so I guess I'm scriznewed.

Yeah, I said it. "Scriznewed."

All I know is its getting more than one of us in trouble at work. My boss has done the same thing to me as Quietstorm's did. There has to be some way for Ryan to fix it.

The hottie in the bikini appears on the right side of the screen ever so often. Under the Transformerscon box.

Don't guess the ads vary with the user's location?

Sometimes she appears on the left side. I guess she gets around a bit more than the other ads.

It's probably been over an hour since she showed up on my screen last.

What about the rest of you?

Maybe someone did something?

Me, I'm playing this game with all pictures (and animation too) turned off in IE settings. It helps a lot.

When I need to see what altmode or faction the selected target is, I do it manually (rightclick -> show picture).

And it conserves traffic, too.

Occasionally, she appears and right when my boss is walking behind my terminal. This woman has the worst timing in the world.

I'm thankful I don't have internet at home, or I'd have a lot of 'splaining' to do to my new wife.
