just to clarify for people, I'm fairly certain he is being sarcastic, so lets not have a fight in this thread.
(And for alot of you there, I realise I shouldn't have to put this in, but well..... we've seen what happens on these forums lol)
A man might not be able to move a mountain, yet he will accomplish nothing if he never tries.
Well, I'm tired of these forums. Very little humor in them anymore. Adios all.

What "old ads"? As far as I can tell, Evony's ads have ALWAYS consisted of sexual innuendo and stolen artwork.

No; the very old ad's were decent. Were based around the same theme as the login page, with the swordsman image we all know. They're the reason I started (true fact: saw the ad of the swordsman and thought "oooh" and clickied the link; hooked ever since).

After much explosive uproar and about a billion threads complaini'n about it they've switched to a third campaign which is based around the City View of your town.

Slightly related comment: wasn't one of the very old Ad's stolen from another website? a picture of a costume in it or something... i heard it somewhere, but am unsure if it's true.

Yes. One of the ads used an image blatantly ripped off from costumecraze.com. Originally Posted by MP40

Joke or no, it doesn't change the fact that dishonest advertising campaigns are dishonest. Originally Posted by Milonius

Maybe they are changing them, maybe they aren't. All I know is that I'm perusing listings at SurfTheChannel and watching flash ads advertising BOOBIES, with an itty bitty evony logo. So if they ARE changing their ads, not all of their ad networks have received the update. Originally Posted by Rodri

ok, I might be banned for posting this but here.
[9/16/2009 6:58:18 PM] ABakker: ok
[9/16/2009 7:00:00 PM] ABakker: but yes, if you have 2 different types of ad campaigns out now, please tell the community. They will understand the use of certain types of ads on adult sites, as long as there are also normal ads on family sites
[9/16/2009 7:00:21 PM] Benjamin Gifford: We definately have two campaign types.
[9/16/2009 7:00:28 PM] Benjamin Gifford: One for adult orientated sites, one for normal ones.
[9/16/2009 7:00:34 PM] ABakker: k, well announce that to the community if you can
[9/16/2009 7:00:41 PM] ABakker: they will easily understand
[9/16/2009 7:00:46 PM] Benjamin Gifford: We also have worked with google to ensure any site can remove ads from our content providers.
[9/16/2009 7:00:55 PM] ABakker: and you can get us older members to defend your actions then
[9/16/2009 7:01:26 PM] ABakker: otherwise, the issue may not be put to rest
[9/16/2009 9:46:08 PM] ABakker: I still advise perhaps making an offical statement. In it also admit that those ads to sell sex, not the game so much, yet they do attract more people to the game and such. I mean if your blunt like that, but also say you have toned down ads on more family oriented sites, I think it would go over better. Just my opinion though.
[9/16/2009 9:47:03 PM] ABakker: else it will come up over and over again, and we long term users can't really help you then
[9/16/2009 9:47:16 PM] Benjamin Gifford: As soon as I have some free time, I will.
[9/16/2009 9:47:21 PM] ABakker: ok lol
[9/16/2009 9:47:22 PM] Benjamin Gifford: Most likely in a few hours.
If I must be infracted for that, so be it. But both sides are correct. There is your proof.
