That guy is really bad and I can't ever manage to read more than two words of his posts. I don't know why, my brain just won't let me. Well, this is really off topic now.

I'm trying to get the BRAND NEW BAD AD issue resolved with Rubicon now. I apologize, I thought they had actually resolved it by whitelisting certain ads, but poo poo is still getting past them. I will keep you all updated.

Aren't they kinda hoodwinking you?

That isn't from an ad, it's from somebody posting a link to a site that is now black-listed.

That banner image in your post in this thread is also getting randomly replaced by ads. I'm inclined to believe you but Housecall is showing as running clean.

I think Lowtax is the only one who can do stuff with the ad company and I have tried to summon him through Twitter and PMs over the past while. I don't know if the message was missed because I'm sure he gets too many messages. Now he is recovering from surgery though.

Oh hey, so it looks like the QQcs thread for discussing this was straight up deleted, rather than just gassed or closed. Mods, just let us know if you would rather we just stop giving a poo poo about this stuff, god knows I've already been on the case for a while now. :thumbsup:

It was moved to the mod-only forum (did someone post something illegal?), and Lowtax deleted all of them.

Please never allow KF ads again.

Right now the the system automatically accepts anything when you pay, so it would have to be changed. There is no accepting happening. Lowtax loses money too because they do charge backs on the card, so he pays a fee to the CC #.
