I know it's through no fault of your own, but some... questionable content might've slipped through the cracks.

Will post more information if an advert like this pops up again.

On a serious note, last I checked, these are google based targeted ads. Of course they can also be effected basted on search results on your IP address and other factors. It could be possible that results like searching for "anime," will get tagged and all ads based on the tag "anime," will then be targeted at you. Which means, even if you aren't searching for say "hentai," you are still likely to get targeted ads based off your anime searches.

I have Ad-Block plus, for removing Ad's entirely (On Google Chrome Web Store, or Firefox). It's handy for things like YouTube, or Inappropriate ad's.
Last I checked, ABP doesn't block ads it deems "unintrusive", such as text only ads. uBlock or anything else really would be better if you wanted to get rid of any and all ads.

It really blocks all or most ad's, but works fine for my use.

There is an option to disable all adds, even "unintrusive" ones. I use ABP with that feature everywhere except here at GBATemp.

EDIT: OP, you use the light theme? Disgusting!

Once again, Targeted Ads are disabled on my Google account, so even if I did search for slutty secretary hentai (which I don't - it's not really my jammies), it would have no bearing on my ads, which normally tend to be random, as expected. Not sure what ad agent the site is using, but the recommended course of action was always to report this sort of thing to the admins (which is what I've done) as pornography shouldn't be in the pool of ads in the first place. You don't get ads about naughty nurses on Tom's Hardware, they shouldn't be here either. GBATemp does have a degree of influence over what's displayed and can apply relevant filters. As for Ad blockers, I don't generally use them on the Temp, for obvious reasons.

Unless the site administrators just thought they'd slip one in...just to see the reactions of unsuspecting members!

(Only joking, everyone.)

This is what happens when I am part of the forums. My lewdness spreads and everything gets lewd with it.
You even affected my facebook feed and suggested pages. My GF now stares at me with a weird face when she sees my timeline.

I swear I wasn't searching for hentai but it still shows up!





dad...
The thing that comes to mind when I read this is a very vivid "YES DADDY!"
Anyway, OP, I wouldn't be complaining about that kind of ad. Who knows if you'll be so lucky as to see another? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

(Nobody wanted to alert me that I misspelled a word in my other post, eh? I see how it is.)

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.
