+1 to what x0_000 reported, its really annoying.
Also, there is another ad that never loads up, the link shown at the bottom was r1.ace.advertsising.com


RE: Official "Advertisement Reporting" Topic - Dazz - 11-11-2013

We're currently investigating these, and have also decided to look for a new supplier who will be far better suited. We'll keep you updated.

I'd like to recommend Project Wonderful, as they have nice, non-intrusive advertising.


RE: Official "Advertisement Reporting" Topic - Dazz - 11-12-2013

Except their payout is dramatically low.

We're in discussions with a private network, who only handle about 20-25 sites. We'll let you know how it goes.

fake java has reappeared


RE: Official "Advertisement Reporting" Topic - Dolphman - 01-24-2014

Another ad report, cause this is bugging the hell out of me.
Don't know if this is happening to other countries, but dating site ads for "40+ singles" and "cougars" are appearing.
There could be more, though i'm not sure.


RE: Official "Advertisement Reporting" Topic - Dazz - 01-24-2014

These are something that I can't even dispute against the advertiser before... Because those are from Google. They're pissing me off too, believe me; we're looking into getting a better ad network.


RE: Official "Advertisement Reporting" Topic - Dazz - 02-05-2014

We have started running with a need ad supplier, on a private contract. You should start seeing ads that don't suck.

Its probably not an add but chrome detect a malware when i try to access "Criticism on my GBC sprites?" by Quirby64. Chrome Msg : "Google Chrome has blocked access to this page on www.vg-resource.com.

RE: Official "Advertisement Reporting" Topic - Dazz - 02-08-2014

That will be the specific page in question. The person linked to a smackjeeves.com address, something we have no control over. Something that Smack Jeeves need to fix.


RE: Official "Advertisement Reporting" Topic - daemoth - 03-18-2014

Theres a "League of Angel" ad that automatically load another site, pretty annoying. The address was "http://loa.teebik.com/lp_fire_queen_sound.html".


RE: Official "Advertisement Reporting" Topic - puggsoy - 03-18-2014

When previewing my reply to the Errors thread, I automatically got redirected to a "Goodgame Big Farm" website within the same tab: http://lp.bigfarm.goodgamestudios.com/?country=us&pid=516&camp=1&gid=15oodgamestudios.com?country=us&pid=516&camp=1&gid=15&cid=57714&tid= I went back, then it redirected me again, to the German version of the site: http://lp.bigfarm.goodgamestudios.com/?country=de&pid=34&lp=bd4y&camp=1&gid=15&cid=56499&tid=

So far it hasn't happened since then, though.


RE: Official "Advertisement Reporting" Topic - Petie - 03-19-2014

Redirect ads like those are definitely completely unacceptable though and we'll be looking into them regardless of whether or not they're continuing to display. Thanks for the reports!


RE: Official "Advertisement Reporting" Topic - Garamonde - 04-01-2014

Hey, I found an ad that could or could not be a serious threat.

[Image: 7RAKn.png]

Every time my mouse hovered over this ad it redirected the page to some kind of warning that has the option "Take me back!" or something. I don't know if it was a malware or virus alert but it was a bit jarring and I also don't know if anyone else has encountered this before.

BTW: I just realized it probably would have been more helpful to just copy the image link, sorry. Ouch!


RE: Official "Advertisement Reporting" Topic - Dolphman - 05-14-2014

More ad issues. I got redirected to something called "Icloud control panel" a minute ago. Similar to that fake java malware ad.
Immediately, I deleted it out of my browser history just to be on my safe side.
Plus there's a few nitpicks regarding an ad popping at the bottom of the main site pages, and some ads playing video and/or audio.
