a flashy in your face advert. It's not as bad as the free Audi A3 ones but still, didn't really expect to see this:

Why didn't you expect it? The ads after ever first post are terrible whatever the content.

i don't have any problems with websites trying to cover their costs with the income of advertisement.
but i do hate the advertisments like the one you showed up.
they messup your layout, are very annoying to watch.
rather see googleads (however this internet cia is getting toooo big)
but can't blame esato, they run a pretty well visited website.
with barley no ads.
why not make a paypal we could donate to?

I may be wrong but I believe esato actually makes profit.

Also annoying to see that Laffen is allowing links to pornographic content via the esato wap pages. I let my 10yr old causin look at esato on my W960 and when i looked back he had clicked on one of the ad's and was looking at pictures of semi naked women and men.

@rookwise - agreed there, I've noticed frequently when accessing the HTML lite version on my N95 I'm getting small ads that say things like 'meet hot girls on your N95', or adult dating sites and occasionally soft porn ones. Whilst I'm certainly not against semi-naked women (  ) ads for them here aren't really appropriate.
I've nothing at all against the ads themselves as they keep Esato afloat and pay the bills, but maybe moderating the ads a bit if possible?

You guys know what I mean, the BLAH! Hello I'm an annoying flashing ad ones like the one in the first post do get annoying!
Stuff like:
is just fine. It blends in fine and I'm sure linking to the O2 shop won't go and stick a tracking cookie in my computer like the other would.

Well not all sites need such blatant ads to survive and as I said before I believe laffen makes money from this rather than "staying afloat"!
I'm not trying to cause trouble but lets have perspective.

If the pornographic/adult site ad's were removed I wouldn't have a problem.
My concern is that there is a lot of different age groups and people from diverse backgrounds who come on here.
For as long as I've been here on Esato there has been a restriction on this type of content and I think it could continue that way.
In some countries it is acceptable an normal for them to be advertised but surely Laffen realises that Esato has greater a worldwide userbase than just parts of Europe.
Personally I think this needs to be put a stop to. There are plenty of sites out there and that sort of content can be easily found without it fouling this site with its adverts.
