Wait, what. Are you getting an ad for that site? Because if you do, you should know that ads are based on your browsing habits. IE, you browse EVE-O forums, you get EvE-related ads.

Edit: Yeah, it's google ads at work. You should probably message Chribba about it tho. Site owners are usually able to get rid of unwanted adds after a bit of communication with Google afaik.

Edit 2: In case this is a troll... meh.

Edit 3: Eveboard itself is an EvE-related site...

Frankly, I'm not seeing any RMT or isk for money ads. So......

Aww why was I so slow at picking up on this thread of cool...

As others said, it's Google Ads at work, and they do indeed base your ads based upon the content of the site and previous browsing history (eg more than your cookies, stuff your IP (or others with the same range) surf on, things you view etc - same reason why I get EVE ads when browsing a random photo blog of waterfalls).

I'm more than happy to try to block sites that I can (the gui for managing blocks is pretty limited) as I come by stuff that I do not wish to link to. Seeing as I don't always see the same ads as you I am very likely to have some ads unnoticed by myself.
