Bloody ad companies, adult ads removed
I have absolutely no idea which idiot went nuts in the ad company who provides ads for Releaselog, but for some reason they started to show adult ads instead of normal, safe for work banners. Many of you noticed this and shared this experience in the comments of latest posts, and that’s how I noticed it today when I woke up. Needless to say, I immediatelly disabled this crap and I’m really sorry, although it’s absolutely not my fault. This will never happen again, I terminated cooperation with that company as we speak.

Thank you.
You know what they say… Sex sells, so it brings ca$h to da pocket. Ad companies do not care about customers satisfaction, but plain hard rock solid monies for every click, view, visitor. And that made sense if it worked, but I can hardly imagine anyone clicking an adult ad in order to ‘cam-chat’ with that one girl’s thumbnail who is obviously not the person YOU will be talking with, lol, but I haven’t tried it either, so I might be wrong like hell. O well, isn’t it possible to narrow the income to donations only, or is the advertising pretty lucrative business?
Anyways, I only wanted to compliment you making good descissions.
Thanks a lot…very much appreciated.
I waz wondering what waz up with the up close anal aktion up on ole rlslog…lol
can you also stop whichever add pops up that annoying popup, if I close the popup an alert shows up. If I press cancel it sends me to a website. If I press ok it sends me to the same website. That’s the most irritating rlslog add I’ve seen so far.
good job
good job.
this place has ads? never see any ads or banners.. firefox with ad block plus kis7 stops everyting lol
had to be done *thumbup*
i’d MUCH rather get rid of the “…brought to you by..” which takes me away from the page i asked for. THAT’s the most annoying form of advertising ive ever seen!
Some ads are nice. Bring a little bit color to the site
No problms mate i know how they’re
Coudn’t anybody of the staff do the same thing.. anyway thanks..
Now no body will open their eyes on me if they suddenly se me browsing the site..
i usefirefox with adblock and I have never seen a ad on this site ever…in fact i didnt know there were ads on this site rofl
adblock ftw
Good job guys!!! Let’s keep Rlslog clean and protected! A site with decentcy
Awesome. This is great news.
It didn’t bother me much since I have Adblock, but screw that ad company!
Ads? I didnt even notice, you guys need firefox!
well… actually i’m using opera… and never ever saw an add on this site
altough … you thought that people where crazy when they told you about the porn on … RLSLOAD
i
cooperation ended immediately!! booyah. U f*** with rlslog ad company and u get the boot, ya heaarrrd?
same prob as #5… might be spyware… eekkk…
btw A BIGGGG HUG to all the admin at RLSLOG!!! U GUYZ ROCK!!! mst ppl don care if sh*t ads are being shown… but you guyz go out of ur way…. THANX ALOT!!!
why be so prudish?
are you amish?
mostly the adds are about the same subject what is on the website.
so when rlslog started to post a lot of aAf soft porn releases the adds changed to sex adds i think…
rofl @ adult ads on this site…turning out to be a warez cracking site…glad the problem has been solved as i wonder what browsers people use as obviously firefox is a must..
rofl i couldn’t imagine a site like this with adult ads ..lmfao
Nice to see such a prompt response.
Maybe adult ads showed up after you posted all those naked stuff releases. Ads code searches for relevant keywords.
And as for blocking ads, usually ads pay the server cost and in this case they’re not that annoying, so I think removing them is stupid.
Just don’t post cr_p related to adult contents.
It was bound to happen.
If you post porn you will get porn ads….
just remove the porn posts and the porn ads will go away.
terminating your cooperation with the ad company is not the correct solution.
Cool, thanks for doing that.
i was trying out my IE7 to see some of the ads and i was noticing that it redirected me to a page that is selling something like an antivirus. did anyone else get this?
On behalf of those who surf here at work; It’s appreciated thank you.
great work, now we got breast cancer and pregnancy ;ppp
Those noob porn posts are the reason. Is it not?
nearmint: if you say this regarding to this 468×60 banner, then you are a real jerk. this banner is there since the beginning of the site and the only reason is that by every click, we donate some money to these organizations fighting against cancer and similar deseases.
kinda of funny how mr.x has being posting adult porn, those adds you were talking about, seems fishy to me?
So shortly after you start posting porn releases, you start getting porn ads. It’s hardly coincidence is it? They’re context sensitive. Stop the porn posts and the porn ads will gi with it.
Thanks
I was wondering was going on with the adult ads – myself its good you decided to keep the site clean.
never noticed them but then i use the adblock plug in for firefox and it managed to get rid of most of the ads from this site.
ad block FTW! ;D
good decision
thanx
If any of you use Firefox (which you should) theres an addon called AdBlock Plus. Download this a long with Adblock Filterset.G updater. I have never once seen an ad on this website
Thanks Martin, my graveyard shift would’ve just not been the same w/out good ol’ rlslog
… !!!
To the firefox fanboys posting about adblock: shut the f_ck up!
Use Opera, it has that, and every other function included, that would require a plugin if you use firesux!
(Also, FireFox rapes web standards!)
Safe for work? Get back to work ya lazy gits!
“Firefox rapes web standards”
Thats a mental picture I dint want.
Care to elaborate about that sentence Mr Tikki?
I know that the ads are somewhat compatible to the site’s content, and recently Rlslog.com started posting about naked women and the like. Don’t you think such keywords as ‘naked’ or ’stripper’ would bring those ads into your site?
To people posting about adblock: Sure you can install adblock on your own computer, but that is not the point. The point is that you may be somewhere where you use a computer where you don’t have privilages to install anything, but still want to browse the site.
@Martin: What is that ad that is so increadably low res? I’ve always wondered what it was about since it was almost impossible to make out the picture (that blue one). Just thought it was funny.
Thanks for removing the porn ads. I like porn, but porn ads belong on a porn related site.
I actually support the ads which help donate money to those organizations fighting against cancer, it actually means a lot to them. Good work Martin.
I use AdBlock, because one day I was fed up of all the jumping and distracting crap on all sites I used to go – they pushed it too much on me, and rlslog.net has a nasty ad source too: full page advertising when I clicked to read comments, this is when you went too far, supporting redcross, amnesty international and alike or anti cancer is fine with me, but full page ads instead reading coments, no.
Sorry not seeing all those ads, and nacked people …
i use adblocker and all that on my linux box, but when i check the site from windows its just crazy. last night the redirect script or whatever kept taking me to a page that wanted me to ok a system scan and install etc… wtf is all that about? any regular add you guys have here i dont block and i click often and sometime buy stuff if its a legit add and good price. now i feel like i have to block every single add and script, especially when im on windows.
Boobs are good we suck them when we’re young so why bother wi them now
porn ads on this site arent a problem for me, but the past few days while surfing this site, and this site alone, i get annoying popups asking to install software….and it is only this site!
who care about seeing ads just install adb+.
The rest actually enjoy the p.0rn ads…
hey if it really decreases the revenue generated by those ads (I know it is needed to keep the site up and running, with server/hosting costs nowadays) I really don’t mind if they are still on.
But I guess it reflects on your principles if you choose to be clean rather than be generating ads but with p0rn.
Thank god for Ad-Block+….
ads? what ads? I haven’t seen a bloody ads in years. I really can’t stand all this blinking crap, it makes me go crazy
You should also quit using the ads the resize the windows and put up some little box saying that a spyware program has been detected. has anyone really ever fallen for this anyway?
So you hate pron in ads, but pron posted by your “contributors” is OK? Everyone seems to see the connection to MrX’s posts except you Martin. But whatever, in the grand scheme of things it’s just another straw.
perhaps next you can get rid of the “Drivecleaner” browser takeover adds
Good job guys!!! Let’s keep Rlslog clean and protected! A site with decentcy
And lots of bad spelling…..lol
bah , just use browsers with ad protection and u wont see any ads and save bandwidth
I love those ads there hot but i dont see them anymore blocked everything in my HOST file! haha
good news – will now place as homepage again
Stop with the browser wars, people! – Anything but MSIE will do just fine, thanks!
Both Opera and Firefox with ABP and NoScript work just fine in returning the web to the content and the users.
There wouldn’t be much of a market for popup-blockers and ad-removal tool if it wasn’t for the greedy innovativeness of the ad companies. A simple inline ad with a slogan, a catch-phrase or a logo wouldn’t offend anybody, but then came animated ads (always jumping or flashing most annoyingly), popups, popunders, circle-jerk scripting (closing one ad either opens a new one or redirects your browser to another page, usually with more of the same) and DHTML-based full page ads that slide in front of content and sits there for several seconds before sliding away and only then allows the visitor to see the page he/she just loaded. It’s just too much and one needs to employ ad-countermeasures in order to restore a bit of usefullness to the websurfing experience.
I have never seen the ads here (ABP is very efficient in cleaning all ads away, and even clever scripting gets zapped by NoScript) so I cannot comment on the topics advertised, but it clearly shouldn’t be nessessary to carry adult ads. If the ad provider don’t realize that then it’s bye-bye to that provider. Good move, Martin!
hah, i never even noticed you advertised in the first place, ad block plus works sooo well:)
Thank you Martin.
You are the man.
i dont see adds thanks to a host file that blocks them
the site automatically takes me here:
http://www.lifelongpc.com/?gai=_mblk&gli=
Well, now there are ads that open up things that want me to install obvious virus/spyware. Please get rid of all these annoying ads. It’s getting rediculous and makes me not even want to attempt to go to my favorite site RLSLOG
I can see all the ads but they don’t bother me, but it’s nice to see a nice clean site everyone can use well done everyone
Thank you, it’s appreciated
Honestly, the porn adds didnt bother me nearly as much as these fairly new adds that are taking you to this site for a “system clean” and to install this supposed software, which is almost guaranteed spyware,etc. Please do something about this problem asap as i am almost considering staying away from this site until it is fixed…
I honestly didn’t even notice that this site HAD ads in the first place, until I read the comments on some of Mr.X’s posts. So I disabled AdBlock, and what do you know, porn ads! I’m pretty sure the porn ads have something to do with the aAF stuff that Mr.X has been posting, but I can’t really blame him. Let’s just hope these annoying ads go away, and only ads that are for a good cause appear.
yeah, those drivecleaner/winantiviruspro ads are virtumonde infections. once i made the mistake of surfing this site on an unpatched win box with an unpatched ie6. the cr4pware installed itself without any user input on my part. lesson learned. never visit this site from a windows machine, unless using firefox w/ noscript and adblock plus. and considering the staff’s silence on the issue, i guess getting rid of the trojan installing ads is out of the question.
I am going to another site because of the System clean add
i still love the site though.
Maybe because rlslog reported some adult releases, Ad supplier tries to match the ad with the content (and the target group)…
there are adds on this page?
I can’t believe the difference in response from Martin to Mr. X relating to this issue.
Martin listens to the readers comments and acts upon their complaint. However, Mr. X reads the comments and decides they all need to be purged and then locks the comments to prevent any more complaints.
I’d say that certainly shows level of responsibility that one has over the other.
Thx Martin! Good step!
you people realize that without ads this site wouldn’t be here?
as its there only profit….. as in why bother if they don’t get get money, and more money means more expanding…
good work Martin
Thanks for making the site “work friendly” again
Thanks man. I’m sure whoever wants to watch web porn, knows where to look for it.. No need to spoil the site..
I prefer the old pop ups that what try to open up another window, hate these new ones that open in the same window.
Cheers Martin – much appreciated!
Lol, I had the images and frames with Adblock, so the first day I saw them, I blocked them.
I block it in every site I go to .. Ads = poopoo, but they make you money.
Thank you!
It is moves like this that keep me dedicated to some websites.
Thanks, its a bit embarrassing if the kids walk in!
dude, all the adds need to stop!.Period
rlslog is nothing more than a scene joke now..used to be cool, now it sucks…
besides, I dont need to have my computer scanned saying its infected and Sh*t. WHats happening to you RlsLog (Martin)?/?
..Must be the money you get form adds making you sellout..
Too bad…..was a cool place
if you didn’t want adult ads maybe you shouldnt have posted soft porn releases, hmmmm? gimps.
ads? where? i’ve never seen it in this site…
Lol, i’m so used to porn ads i didn’t even notice them.
I hate ads, and won’t ever support them. They corrupt the content, are annoying, and serve only goal: trick people into buying.
Someone should develop software that makes users into servers, so there’s no need for an expensive central server. Now that’s something I would support. Not sure if that’s feasible, though, but it would kick ass if it worked. With consumer hard-drives becoming bigger and bigger and broadband slowly becoming wider, it might be possible one day.
never ever had problems with rlslog.net. Im using ff and adblockplus as an addon.
