Old ADUK...oh dear

[WhoseGeneration]

Oh dear indeed, I just had a cursory glance for old times sake, to be greeted with advertising, "Date sexy Thai women".

adblockers have their uses...

Yes, I know but not my point.

Ahem. You do realise, don't you, that Google Ads are selected on the basis of your search history - ie what you have been looking for . . .


FWIW I've stopped even viewing there after the 'page not found' error appeared when I tried to post a reply. I waste enough time on the internet already without posts being sent to oblivion.

Does anyone know where I can find 'get a passport for any country' and the 'Date sexy Thai women' posts because they've now gone and a google search just doesn't seem to be finding what I'm looking for??

Don't worry Paul, the latest post on the old ADUK is promising spiritual enlightenment - so all is good...all together now: "hare krishma, hare krishma, krishma, krishma, hare, hare".

Real shame.

I'm quite surprised by how short a time it's taken for that site to virtually collapse. On a separate point, why can't we get ads for passports/Thai ladies on here?

Honestly, no, my search history is much more mundane. It hasn't, for instance, included LGV training, car insurance or L training.
I think it's just that the 'site is now taking any old advertising not only driving related.

I am happy to oblige, perhaps you could introduce me to a few advertisers!

There is a big difference between a forum which is commercial and chases revenue and this one here my preference is quality over quantity... Still working on the latter bit, but we aren't doing too badly

Um, don't these ads come up based on google searches or cookies on the computer?

Maybe they're too busy driving at 20 mph, the members of ADUK.
