Is there really a need to run adds like this at the top of the forums?

I think most of us are in the same boat; I find these adds insulting to my intelligence besides the fact that I have a 5 year old who I have to make sure he doesn't come into the room when I pull up the rx. You guys preach no porn. I know this is far from porn, but give me a break. You think I'm gonna join a book running an add like this? I wouldn't even bother doing my homework.

heh...Until you drew focus to it, I have honestly never even seen that ad.

But in respectful response, it might be useful to remind any youngsters in your household that the RxForum is not a website for children.

And I think that message can be delivered without apology or feeling that you're somehow condoning active use - in possible view of children - of an adult porn site etc

The truth of the matter is that SEX SELLS....

its not only sportsbooks that do things like this, television commercials, magazine ads are filled with sexual innuendos.

Further honest thought had me realize that likely for 99% of times I open the Rx, I move so quickly down the page to Index that I never see ANY of the ad banners.

Don't tell our sponsors, but I bet that's more the norm than not.

i gotta agree. the skanky women in avatars bother me more to be honest. the adds are at the top so you can avoid those if children are in the room. but try scrolling through a thread and you never know when a fat nekkid bitch will pop up. i served 10 yrs in college, my days of being randomly assaulted by fat nekkid bithces should be over

RX won't like the solution, but an Adblocker will solve the problem. It's also essential if you want to browse from work etc.

also under thread tools ''show printable version''


the rx isn't too bad but a lot of other forums have mounds of white space that go away by clicking there.

You said :

Why not ? Half of the books run same type of adds . Sportsbetting offering free $300 cash (not a Bonus Play ) + juicy lines like no other book . I cashed out 4 times in the last 6 month .Book pays you if you win no problem . As a gambler i really don't care what kind of adds they run . Naked chicks are the least of the problem we are worry .Get paid and get payed fast .
One the other hand if you wanna introduce your 5 year old to the world of gambling you should try Betvegasvic plenty of birds, dogs and the other children material .

This complaint is similar to parents who have children that are allergic to peanuts. Because their kid is allergic to peanuts the parents feel that all peanut products should be banned from everyone. The reality is that it is your problem and not our problem. God dammit I like peanut butter! I want my peanut butter!
