Inappropriate ads aren't Ian's fault.
The ad has to do with what website you are on.
(Well, obviously)

Example, I have up a graffiti related website in a tab.
The ad on the top featured a Graffiti store.

Do not be alarmed if the ad is inappropriate but you are also on a bad site in a different tab.
I'm just saying this so you don't send in a million bug reports to the staff(:
If it ever happens, of course...
Just saying in case(;
If you don't already know this.

Precisely. *supports* 😊

(Your Blu is precisely level 1999? Wow D: )

crooton1 • 9 August 2011 at 12:57 AM

Yep. Even the topics. 😉

chatial • 9 August 2011 at 1:00 AM

@crescentfeather
Haha, I knoww(x
But he'll gain levels tonight.
And thankyou for the support.

@crooton1
Agreed.

ladybugheart • 9 August 2011 at 1:07 AM

Yep. ^^ You don't even have to be on the site at the moment. Your computer saves what sites you've been on and what you've searched using cookies, so it knows what ads to show you. Let's say you search "Egg Cave" everyday. They look at "Egg" and give you ads for egg cartons. I always get Pokemon ads when I visit the Pokemon roleplay. I've even gotten ads for my acting school. Of course, they don't know that Egg Cave has nothing to do with Egg cartons. xD Now, I wonder what made those "76 gas" ads appear...

bump for awareness!

Where I am my country area doesn't put in rude stuff. It puts in stuff like RSPCA or doughnuts etc.

Bump for Awareness too 😊

mangyrawr • 9 August 2011 at 2:00 AM

ladybugheart • 10 August 2011 at 9:48 PM

chatial • 11 August 2011 at 12:29 AM

@cafe

rabbitwanter • 11 August 2011 at 10:59 AM

Mai ads r blocked bai parental controls 😃 thats teh one thing good about parental controls... =D=""

whitefall • 11 August 2011 at 11:02 AM

My parents blocked EggCave with parental control. ^^;

dios_storage • 11 August 2011 at 11:03 AM

I just ignore the ads, but so very true, Ian can't choose the ads...

rosey77 • 11 August 2011 at 11:07 AM

@whitefall
D: ... Then how are you playing?

whitefall • 11 August 2011 at 11:07 AM

@rosey77

Sneaking on my iPad, library, etc ^^;

My dad blocked EC before v2, so I can still go on the Forums and blogs. ;D

swymr_krys • 11 August 2011 at 11:14 AM

Also, if the ads really annoy you, you can download adblock for google chrome and firefox and the ads won't show up. I've done it and now I play on eggcave ad-free.

zora • 11 August 2011 at 4:13 PM

Lols, I don't think that's how ads work. I've never had an advert related to my tabs 😋

For instance now, there's a Vodafone free sims text advert up. My tabs are; hotmail, facebook a writing site, VDex (a sort of RPG), an egg cave forum, this thread, and a picture saying "WRITE" (as a reminder to er... write).

redfire77 • 11 August 2011 at 5:57 PM

@zora I disagree. 😋 @trish Sent me to some clothes site because that's what she wanted her chara to be wearing when I drew them, and then it started showing adds for that site XD

balletninja • 11 August 2011 at 6:00 PM

Eh, I think Ian gets to approve adds?

Not really his fault, but the adds pay him as he lets him advertise (basically paying the owners of the adds), so wouldn't you think he has a bit of control over them?

Then again not completely sure what the system of these adds are, they are different on different sites 😸

swymr_krys • 11 August 2011 at 6:03 PM

I think that Ian only approves companies that can post ads, not the ads themselves.

candy_girl_1298 • 12 August 2011 at 8:38 PM

@zora @redfire77 it also shows ads that have been on any website you have been on.

@swymr_kyrs thats not true, ian has nothing over which ads are shown.

its also google ads, so sometimes it shows ads that pays google. well, always actually.

Ian • 14 August 2011 at 5:19 PM

@chatial thanks for this! Yes, if you do see any inappropriate ads, please report in a picture of it and/or the destination URL and we can block it immediately. Google chooses our ads, not me personally.

Thanks again.
