Questionable banners

So anyone at work getting in trouble for visiting a site that has practically nude pictures of cartoon women at the top with stars covering their genitalia? Yep, I'm referring to the banners at the top of gotapex. Someone ICQed me the other day (from gotapex) pissed as heck because his boss walked by with that banner on the screen and it was mentioned. I've got kids running around the place, call me a prude if you wish but I just don't really appreciate it. Maggie __________________ How about using webwasher to screen out those ads? http://www.webwasher.com Don't worry Apex I do turn off webwasher and click on some ads every couple of days. __________________ You make a good point, Maggie, but you also point out that it is a cartoon. It is wrong, though. That is not how Laura Croft appears in the game (unless you know of that certain code to de-robe her). As for your kids, just tell them there is no way in hell a REAL female body will portray the measurements that Laura Croft has, therefore that is not what a REAL almost-naked women looks like. __________________ Quote: Originally posted by MaggieOK So anyone at work getting in trouble for visiting a site that has practically nude pictures of cartoon women at the top with stars covering their genitalia?

I'm so glad my boss wasn't around... __________________ I'll see if we can get that particular banner off the rotation. Sorry for the troubles it may have caused. __________________ prison bars SUCK __________________ use a hosts file to block ads... for those of you that dont comprehend, heres a site http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/ __________________ [quote]Originally posted by tongyang Especially when the GotApex mods see fit to censor any ****ing swears in our posts.

We don't have access to change that, so if you would like, take it up with Apex or Leon. Thank you.

[/b][/quote] Yeah, what's with the mother****in' censorship? Frankly, I have little problem with the banner, personally, but I agree it's ain't the greatest thing to have flashin' away at the top of the screen when checking the forums at work. Whatever, Leon's already said he's on the case, leave it at that. __________________ The banner network has already been informed, they're working with us on opting out of those ones. __________________ lol As you can see, even we perfect mods make mistakes. I was watching the debate on tv and not paying enough attention to what buttons I was clicking.

I hope indeed that you share my views regarding censorship on the net. __________________ i was never a fan of the lara croft banner either, and i live in a guy's college dorm room. It's not that I don't want people to see it, but rather that I, myself, do not want to have to see the animated diproportionate slut. Okay, now it's time to get off of my soapbox... ProMinx __________________ Funny you mentioned that Maggie, I tried to post a message about it the other day but I couldn't link to the actual image without downloading and reuploading it, and since I had limited time I just deleted the message.

Maggie __________________ So uh.. why is this banner still showing up? __________________ Well, what do you want them to do? I simply assume those ads are Apex's source of revenue, unless he's making more off of commissions than I think It isn't THAT bad... __________________ Hmm... I haven't seen that Lara Croft banner in a while. Looks to be gone. Can anyone else confirm? __________________ No more nude Lara Croft for me. No more arousal. Mavi forum
