Censorship

Well that's sorted then!

Coach doesn't have a laptop anymore so he'll have the time to wheel Gerard out of hospital.

Unless Gerard's still pissed at coach for introducing his granddaughter to porn.

Jack that's gold mate.. Especially if The Situation has been to the races that day...

Years ago

@Pickles ex-housemate Lazy goddamn granddaughter! Won't even wheel him out of hospital :(

Years ago

ok, there seems to be a tonne of action in old threads right now involving someone trying to advertise bridal gowns...........Gerard/Ryan....Situation???????

Years ago

@Shin Splints Was never the biggest Seinfeld fan, but that clip makes me want to go back and watch every episode again!

@The Situation You have six days to move states before Ryan wheels Gerard out of hospital, after his *cough* operation, or else there will be hell to pay!

*sigh* I am strangely comforted to know that Gerard will always have Ryan, nearby, to look after him.

I'm seeing adverts for 30% off Personal Training courses ('cos I was looking at threads on different forums about people crapping on Goodlife Gym Personal Trainers)

Years ago

@The Situation You're a habitual line stepper!

Years ago

Which is what a few of us said at the top of the thread..

Thread of the year! Pickles ex housemate..."Multiple personalities, one being tougher than the other!" lmfao!! He must be kickin his own ass atm!

Years ago

Ahhh the good old same IP.
That ol' chestnut hey...never stops being funny..

Years ago

There is some truth to the algorithm. With all the fuss with the Solar mob, I clicked on their website to see if they still had the Sixers logo on it (which they did) and then every website I clicked on had the "Unleash Solar" ad come up.

I then cleared all the cache and haven't had one of their ads since - not even on the porn sites I visit.

Years ago

If I wasn't such "a weak little boys" I would say that this is already Thread of The Year.

I mean really, what could top it?

Years ago

Gerard/Ryan/Cowardly Anon, I suggest you post in the Community Ownership thread from now on. The way you have been so completely owned by the Hoops.com.au community is inspirational.

Years ago

"(Gerard and abusive anon, same IP as some of you suspected.)"

This really is the best thread ever.

First busted for the porn.
Then busted for the multiple identities.
What's next?

Years ago

"No I have never watched Porn dont need to I am happly married and dont need to watch it"

Maybe you should, 'cos you seem very frustrated.

It can be very educational. Maybe if you'd broadened your horizons your wife wouldn't have left you for your granddaughter's basketball coach.

LOL at someone posting as 'Anonymous' I mean 'Gerard' I mean 'Ryan' and calling other people out.

Years ago

I still respect basketball, it's a great game.
Just don't appreciate a great site being ridiculed for a couple of small ads.
Like I said block your pop ups or like someone else said delete your searching history.

You may even enjoy Hoops SA!

Ooh, the happily married game. Let me play!

I have never watched any of the Lord Of The Rings movies because I am happily married and don't need them.
I have never read the bible because I am happily married and don't need to.
I haven't eaten at McDonalds for well over 5 years because I am happily married and don't need to.

Years ago

Let's not have Gerard jump to conclusions that this site is terrible and everyone is filthy on it either hey? Not really a need for that when some are trying to assist him/her.

Years ago

Targeted advertsising sounds right as the first ad on my page is for "Flight Centre Online", and earlier today I was surfing the Qantas and Webjet websites looking up flights to Europe.

But let's not jump to conclusions about the types of sites Gerard visits to trigger the advertising he is seeing. eg. Maybe his wife uses the same computer and it is her surfing habits resulting in those ads ;)

Years ago

Now why go and bag this site??

The moderators do a great (albeit painful) job of getting rid of a lot of the stupid off topic abusive threads on here.

And seriously is a dating site sick?? this is 2013 the age of the internet for anything..sheesh

Years ago

Gerard maybe using the link to contact a moderator might have been a better option to find out the answer to your query?

Years ago

lol! Awesome thread!!

K and Clem Scott are correct btw. Your own internet history triggers targeted advertising on certain sites. Some sites are exempt, but no idea which ones or why.

From a source who works in advertising sales at Google head office in Sydney.

Thats a big self-facial Gerard.

Years ago

"wow censorship again I answer and say about you all judging me and it get deleted "

Nobodies judging you Gerard.
You can whack off to whatever you want.

Years ago

No idea what advertising is being referred to there is only google and hoops anytime I log in?

I think those dating things are pop ups..maybe don't allow pop ups on your computer?

Years ago

Notice that since this has come to light, Gerard has been strangely absent.

Best thread ever!

Years ago

Thankyou @K that is totally correct. Lets say you wish to purchase a camera so you do your research online. Later you will notice that when you visit new, unassociated sites, advertising for the product you searched for will follow you to these new sites.
ie. checking the results on sportingpulse and there, amazingly is my camera;

Remember: Whenever you point your finger at someone, there are three pointing right back at you.

Delete your search history and the dirty ads and ladies will magically disappear.

Years ago

@K So that means Gerard...... ;)

Doesn't Google adsense / adchoices etc.. work on an algorythym which profiles your "search" behaviour online and put ads on your screen that reflect what you search for and sites you use? For example if you search or use a dating site or porn sites, that may change what ads you see on other sites, because they think they are catering for a user who cant get laid without the internet dating, or watches to much porn online. Can anyone confirm that to be the way it works ? :)

We aren't guaranteed "Freedom of Speech" in Australia. Just putting it out there.

Years ago

Didn't see the original post, but when you say censored, you mean deleted

Years ago

It sounded like it was an issue like that, but your original post did not make it clear.

Seems half the advertising on the net is for dating sites etc

Years ago

What exactly was your problem with the advertising? Your vague ramblings remind me of a man on a park bench in Hurtle square arguing with the feeding pigeons.
