Well, staff can complain too! :D

Seeing as members can be of any age from 13 to 18 (and exceeding those age limits), the ads at the very bottom of the forum (The links), can be extremely inappropriate. I have had, in 5 refreshes, Gay Porn, Gay Relations, Sexy Women, Hot Chicks, etc

In my mind, that is not suitable for under 16 ;-)

Well they are only text links.. theres no images. Its not like someone is going to click on the link right? But yes.. still a bit inappropriate.

Yeh, i know he might not have control -- maybe put one kind of ads for Younger members, (You know, related to them -- use the age they set in their profile), and older related ads for older people.

I agree with you micro completely. Even thought ehre are not pictures its not somehting that should be on this forum for 2 reasons:

1) Not appropriate
2) X10 doesnt allow these kind of sites to be hosted with them so why advertise them?

yes, SEÑOR, I do agree with you for the most part, but x10 can't really control what ads are shown, unless there's like an adult ad checkbox (that i'm sure Corey did not know about)

Hmm, I'll have to check into the links at the bottom. It is a well known SEO company that is paying us monthly for them. I've refreshed a few times and haven't seen any bad ads yet.

I'll check on the corporate ads. I was in the ad server earlier today, I probably made a mistake when changing settings.
