    hmm i dont think ive seen that one before...

    i think the ads thea show up have something to do with keywords on the page. for example my friend has a forum and we were tallking about airsoft guns. later airsoft gun ads started showing up on the top of that thread. i think his site was hooked in thru google ads or something.

    someone probably said "that looks gay" in a post somewhere so that ad poped in at the top of the page

    i wasn't complaing about the site or anything i just thought it was very weird and random that that sort of ad would come up. and i would gladly become a supporting member but i am a 16 year old in my junior year in high school and don't have a job yet and do chores around the yard to get the money i do have which goes into the mav.
