Offensive and inappropriate ads on this site



Recommended Posts

I accidentally posted this in the wrong category so i'm reposting this here

Today I was browsing the site and I noticed an ad that showed a picture of a woman's (extremely large) rear end with the words "give ugly girls a chance, they need love too!" (website: f-sluts.net)

uhhh... I was kinda offended!!

I quite frankly would expect more class from a website like this

Hi lap. I responded to your other post, but figured I'd reply to this one as well. I am on this site religiously. And I have never once seen an inappropriate add. Never anything sexual at all. I'm sure the add you saw was a fluke. Every web site can get hacked. And the hacked adds wont show on everyone's browser. I can honestly say you shouldn't have that problem often on here.

Never even had a banner on this site even close to something like that

It is my understanding that those ads are based on your previous browsing history. I wouldn't know as I have never seen an ad on this site.

Previous poster is correct. Ads pop up based on personal interests/browsing history/your demographics. Not that you were browsing "those kind of sites" but perhaps the algorhythm picked up something about weight or weight loss and that ad was generated.

Adspace on sites can feature random ads, not necessarily known by the site itself. While there is bought ad space on LBT, there is also space on this site for these random ads to pop up.

Ads are generated from previous search results and history. Not implying that you are visiting those sites, but do you share a computer with anyone else? Maybe a family member, roommate, or significant other?

Sites like this don't control ads, they sell space to advertising programs that give you ads they feel you would be interested in, they don't get there by accident. Just use a program like adblock and it removes all ads.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
