How much are they paying you to run these ads?


Well?

Whoops!

So much for discouraging political discussion on the site.

I didn't know political ads were being served, and would rather none - of ANY stripe - were. (We don't know in advance what will be shown, but we can block it after the fact). I've forwarded to Ben - he's handling that one (I don't think it's a Google Ad).

Thanks for the heads up.

Ben says it's not being served from the non-Google ad network, so I blocked it on Google. That should do it.

Thanks for letting us know!

Those ads are still around - saw the same one while looking at the Fossil Free forum.

(4:00 PM Pacific Time)

Looks like it is being served by Google - it appears randomly in the top or bottom of the page.
