That League of Angels animated ad
TappedOut forum

Is there any way we can get that one removed. It's pretty offensive, and ends up just about putting the site into NSFW territory.
I seriously only remember that internet ads are a thing when I decide to come here from my work computer, everywhere else I have adblock+ installed lol

Adblock? Oh yeah, because it's TOTALLY better to just completely starve this free website of some income to try and pay for bandwidth costs than it is to just deal with it, unless something is particularly egregious.

I think all internet ads are egregious to begin with they either force you to hit some x buttona dn take over your screen, or are too flashy and obviously trying to distract you. Granted the ads here are all (mostly) MtG related, but they need to be toned down and not try to jump at you

Personally I'm a fan of boobs, so I love the ad. It's not like it's making you click on it or anything. If TO is making a few bucks from me staring at anime boobies then hooray for everyone.

NSFW = not safe for work.
The ads don't really bother me that much. I personally don't like the ads that produce a video popup if your cursor lingers there for too long, but that's just preference.
If tappedout needs to sell ad space to keep itself running, I'm fine with it.

Ah, that makes more sense, its already blocked at my work anyways, lol. Which is probably a good thing, cuz if not then I would probably never get anything done.
The ads never bother me, I hardly even see them most of the time.

Again, I have no problem with the ads, just -that- ad. yeaGO! can maybe shed some light on how much say he has over what appears in that ad block. I know most advertising sites will at least let you veto the odd thing.

"League of Angels"?
google image search
Those girls might as well be naked. I'd personally be more offended if a girl walked around with something that skimpy, as opposed to a girl walking around completely naked.

Whut? There's a juicy ad? I've got to turn my ad blocker off...
I prefer supporting the site directly. In return, I get stuff like feature tokens, a shiny username, can remove spam from my decks, and so on.

That ad makes me angry, but for none of the reasons above. I was showing a few of my friends the site and they just so happened to notice the ad playing in the corner.
Now every time they see me on the site, they ask, "Hey, is that the MTG porn site? LOL!!" So damn annoying.

@ Devonin
Because I hate google anal-ytics and what they're all called tracking my movements. Because the pictures cram my cashe. Because I dislike ads in general, especially popups or sound ads. Reasons enough?

I just did an image search myself. Well, what can I say? I was really surprised, because that's totally harmless. How can that be offensive? I know things are being judged a bit different on the other side of the big pond, but honestly...

So to summarize this thread:
Ads suck. Tits don't suck. Ads containing tits are a conundrum.
On a side note I haven't seen that particular ad in a few days, so maybe this is all moot?

Addblock? Why look at adds to begin with?
