    Getting similar stuff from popcornnews again myself (topless woman with a clickbait title) as well as toptoon's usual obvious-porn ads.

    Should we still be bothering to report those two sites at all? It's been months so I've kind of been assuming they're here to stay.

    I wanted to check something on the forums last night while I was in a game, so I used the Steam Browser (which does not have any adblocking) and was immediately greeted with an ad for a Style Magazine photo gallery labeled "27 T-Shirt fails that went too viral" featuring a woman with visible nipples under a tight white wet t-shirt with the words "NO BRA CLUB" printed on it, followed by an ad for chinalove.com, a Chinese dating website that I'm sure is not a mail order bride company at all.

    If someone posted a picture like that they'd be infracted or banned, so it's kinda weird that they're allowed to be run as giant advertisements at the top of every page on this presumably work safe forum. At least we got rid of those NRA ads though.

    Those are indeed racks of large dildos.

    Also, should be we reporting pot stuff? I mean, it's legal here, but I've been getting a whoooole lotta CBD stuff in the ad space lately.

    Just got another auto play video with sound on, just like the previous one, but this was for the Hyundai Tucson. The little speaker in the corner again indicated that sound was supposedly off, but the audio told a different story.

    Getting a bunch of ads for a “My Patriot Supply” lately. Looked up their Twitter and it’s full of shit about the “mainstream media” and doing its damnedest to try to convince everyone that there are massive food shortages everywhere.

    Looks like a Botox ad that didn't load all the way or something.

    So, an update: we've had some extenuating circumstances which have delayed some of the reporting on these. I'm working on it, believe me, I'm not thrilled with some of these ads either. Apologies for the delay

    Not sure if this is bad or not, but Playboy itself would certainly be.

    Was about to report the same. Assumed the previous was just an ill-themed T-shirt, but apparently it's the actual sex magazine, or whatever the fuck it is they do these days.
