Hey GP - I notice that your most recent tagline is missing. You may remember, the one showing an advertisement that would seem to clearly be against the rules of the board. I thought that maybe they would also pay you for placement LOL! What's with the double standard as far as what an sp can advertise vs. a paid advertiser?

I don't have the technical skills to place the ad in my post, but it's the one where I could win a ** from xxxmatch.com

I hope it was your choice to remove it!

If not, I understand why you may not be able to respond!

I removed it when I took out my doove quote. No one asked me to. I was just cleaning it up in anticipation of a newer better sig. You are right though, if money is involved and going into the pockets of the board owners, there does appear to be a double standard. We should keep in mind though that at the very bottom of every page on this board it does say:

In checking into the ad in question, I have been told that porn ads are perfectly legal. The site is not selling the goods of the ad. They are allowed the graphic nature of their ads for that reason.

GP · 11-09-2011, 06:50 PM

UH HUH! And the site isn't selling the goods of the providers either. Oh well, I'm sure a lot of people will take that one hook, line and sinker. LOL

thanks for the investigative work jymie!

I guess the real difference is that the display ad directs you to an offsite location. The ads do not have contact info in them which is different for the ads by the providers.

I can buy that

If anyone wishes to send me ideas for my new and improved signature or my avatar/title, send them my way. You may PM them to me if you want to keep your thoughts private or are afraid of offending certain people.

I envision another "Poll" coming soon.

Make it like a contest. Winning GP signature gets an all-expenses paid vacation to Florida with the provider of your choice... or the dutiful satisfaction of making this board a little more fun, your choice!
