Advertisements at Bottom of Posts

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but there are huge advertisements at the bottom of some of my posts and I've noticed a few other people's too. Can anyone tell me what that is about?

The first post of every page of every thread has an advertisement in their "signature". They're there to help pay for bills.

Got it. Thanks.

In the interest of not starting a new topic for this I thought I'd bring it up here.

Are the sig advertisements moderated or approved in anyway beforehand? Because the other day there were ones that soooooo were not appropriate for a family friendly forum.

No approval process - at least by a human being. The advertisements are based on scraping the page and picking the ad that fits the web page's content. But in a message board, ANYTHING can happen since the subject matter in a given topic would more likely set the ad, such as a topic in the relationships forum about sex.

But it was the same ad in like every thread.

Yea, there were some issues the other day or so. It should be taken care of now.

I appologise for that. Still getting a feel for what the new ad network we're using serves up. I've changed the settings for the ad serving and hopefully it should filter out any non-family friendly ones. I will keep a close eye on it, please report any offensive ones you find as well.
