New annoying pop-up adds
I don't know if it's just me or something but every time I go to a new page on basil this stupid popup add comes up. EVERY TIME. It's really annoying. I can deal with the annoying Victoria secret adds and the add with the naked guy in it, but this is just annoying.

Well on my iPod Touch, every single time I change the page, it directs me to another website.
Here's my productive Basiling day:
1. Basilmarket.com -> ADVERTISEMENT
2. Click Login -> ADVERTISEMENT
3. Typed in Account, Enter -> ADVERTISEMENT
4. I got Mail? Click -> ADVERTISEMENT
5. Click on PM -> ADVERTISEMENT
6. Read, back to homescreen > ADVERTISEMENT

i find this funny...
all this computer has ever been used for was to go on maple and basil
wonders why i randomly gets go to this or that university ads and random game ads that seem to feed off them self
then it somehow ends up into religion or some ads about that..[/quote]
Browsing history is one of the things used by the ad companies to determine what ads to send you, but it's not the only one.
If there's not enough information to make a good determination about what ads you might be interested in seeing, they'll use other factors to send you ads, like the overall history of other users of the site, a "guesstimate" of what your likely demographic is and what ads are likely to fit that profile, and of course, just random ads to see if anything appeals to you.
How long have you been sleeping?
AdBlock is the answer.
Out of like 1000 active members 30 of them view the adds
lmfao

@s0lite:
any choice ad blockers every time i get one it seems ads start working way in i had one that blocked the choice ads (as they feed off themselfs)
but it seems they went out of date (choice ads cant but help to feel its some sort spying program)
Firefox and AdlblockPlus work wonders
Woah what kinds of things are you searching up for this to happen?
