Prop 8 advert ?!
I was quite shocked to see mobileread advertising and promoting prop 8.
I would like to know if mobileread advocated this advert, and support its policies. I for one do not come onto these forums to be forced policies and politics I do not agree in. Admin? |

holden, can you explain what is prop 8 please ? to answer your question, mobileread allows advertising on the site to help pay for the site's expenses (hosting, etc.) but we don't have any input about what ads are shown. there are plenty of ads for things we don't endorse at all or want anything to do with (all those dating sites come to mind...). if you don't want to see the ads, i recommend that you use Firefox browser with the AdBlock Plus plugin.

Holden is probably talking about Proposition 8. I don't know; I can't see the ad.

i can't see the ad either. but in the similar threads, i get "What is with the Scientologist advert on MobileRead?" in which another member wonders about a surprising advert on the site. we get some pretty crazy ones sometimes... just try to ignore them.

(and, not that this has much to do with the original subject of this thread, the thread about the scientologist advert veers into unutterable silliness really fast, and is still hilarious months later.)

i think the ads are almost definitely regional. a lot of ads have been mentioned by others that i've never seen. i've not had a single political ad for the US presidential elections, for instance, although others were not so lucky.

I use Firefox but I just copy and pasted the link for this thread into Explorer and got a Kindle ad, an ad for some Kindle books and one for Project:Report supported by Sony.

huh. i regularly get cybook and iliad ads but i've never gotten one for the kindle. more proof that ads are served on a regional basis.
in other news, holden1, it is indirectly YOUR FAULT that i am once again still up at 4 in the bloody morning, because i got sucked into the *old* adverts on mobileread thread and am reading the entire thing and giggling to myself (instead of GOING TO BED like any sane person would have 3 hours ago). |
