Restored Church of God

Simmy · 08-27-13, 04:14 PM

I notice that this site now has an ad for the Restoed Church of God.
Read some of their material and let the whining begin.

If you are referring to the adbot on the top of the page, it is tied to topical content and/or personal user searches. Lately, I have seen ads for Mad Catz arcade sticks and general video game-related content, as that is mostly what I search for on the internet. So, I would ask you why you are looking up the Restored Church of God.

See, you get everything so wrong.
I wasn't "looking up" the restored church of god, only mentioning that there is an ad for it at the top of the page.
You can see that can you not??

Only for you. Mine is for the Defiance MMO. Previously it was for Xbox One.

EDIT: Now it is for Zoom Downloader. Next time it will be for something else.

EDIT 2: Retirement portfolios now.

EDIT 3: Teach for America

EDIT 4: Collected works of Mark Twain

EDIT 5: Home loans

EDIT 6: Music Lessons

EDIT 7: Submarine models

EDIT 8: Fantasy football

EDIT 9: iPhone game apps

EDIT 10: Some sort of flash game

EDIT 11: The flash game again

EDIT 12: Windows 7

EDIT 13: More iPhone games

EDIT 14: Those flash games again

EDIT 15: Flash games once more. It appears that I have exhausted the possibilities for now.

EDIT 16: HDTVs at Best Buy. God, I think I'm hooked on this exercise.

EDIT 17: Walgreens Pharmacy. I don't think I can stop.

EDIT 18: Back to the flash games. I keep telling myself that this is the last one. Then I click on the thread again.

EDIT 19: 7-Zip (good app). God damnit.

EDIT 20: Those stupid flash games again. I don't think I have ever played one before.

EDIT 21: Flash games. My name is Takeda. I am a click-aholic.

EDIT 22: Lexus. I actually own a Lexus, but I don't think I've ever done anything online with or about it.

EDIT 23: HDVTs at Best Buy again. I have one of those too, but I didn't get it at Best Buy. Also, I have to come to terms with the fact that I am sick and need help.

EDIT 24: Best Buy. Step 9--I am terribly sorry for having spammed my own post with 24 consecutive edits. I understand that this has caused a tremendous burden on the servers and an endless source of confusion to the membership. I firmly resolve to change my ways to the better of myself and my fellow man.

Just an ad scroll for Neal to obtain operating funds.
It's different every time I log in.
Restored Church of God? I must have missed that one.

I just remember the days before I had noscript where I searched for the correct use of a semicolon only to be bombarded with ads for colonic irrigation!

It coud be a google ad based on your searches if you don't block the google stuff.

I get air gun stuff when I unblock google.

You do know how to do that don't you?

kraznyi_oktjabr · 08-27-13, 05:19 PM

Google-ads. Bane of web browsing (atleast in my opinion). I have blocked them and instead donate to Subsim.

Wolferz · 08-27-13, 05:22 PM

Pay no attention to the ad man behind the curtain. I don't.

All I can see is ads for amazon and recent holiday destinations.
Same ads that I get on the banners from other sites.

So Simmy, why is it that only you are getting ads for the British-Israelism crowd?

I never get the cool ones.

That's the only one you've listed so far that I've actually seen.

I thought it was kind of cool. I usually ignore them. Now I have to go look for myself.

This could turn into a fun game!

I usually get adds for models or games which make perfect sense because that is what I usually look up over the interwebs.

Strangely I do sometimes get adds for Islamic dating services which at face value seems off but Islam comes up in many threads in GT so it must be hitting on that.

Christianity in some way is mentioned often in GT so if you wind up posting in threads where Christianity is the topic then it hit on that.

Well I got an advert for Mormons...

Normally though it's War Thunder or something like that.

Now it's one for "Don't buy an oil boiler", must have been reading that Syrian thread...

Armistead · 08-27-13, 11:39 PM

Yea, I was like what the heck is Neal advertising porn sites here....

fireftr18 · 08-28-13, 06:56 AM

I'm getting ads for facebook games. I'm continously trying different games. Haven't found one that I really liked.
