GOOGLE ads

[hedo2002]

Dear MEMBERS:

As you may have noticed, since the arrival of our NEW server there are now GOOGLE ADS appearing at the top of the forum pages. The content of these ads is controlled BY Google and NOT DSSRookie. They are touting NAG 3 fixes/files.

These sites are a SCAM. Do NOT send your money when a fix is available it will be posted IN our forums for FREE. However you CAN click on these ads then simply close the site when it comes up. The purpose of doing so is EACH time someone clicks on their ad it costs THEM money and if enough do, (and of course buy NOTHING), eventually it will become a money LOSING prospect and they will likely pull their FALSE ADS.

This is a great Idea lets all get together and flood there websites and buy nothing. What If all members do it repeatedly? look at thier cost.

You need to do it from different locations or different IP addresses...

Hey, if you guys are that concerned over n3 adds, you can simply login to your addsense account, click on addsense setup, then competitive add filter, and add the scammy n3 sites to the filter, and they will no longer display.

Such a easy solution, all you basicly need to do is block 2 sites, and all the n3 adds will disappear.

The new server has Google scam adds?? How stupid do you think we are? What a load of crap! You have complete control over that and you infact added them! You are running VBulletin forum software and you have placed those ads.

Whois shows you are hosting 2 domains on your server, Martin.

Try this guys, type in

In another browser window, see what you get.


So how much money did you make off clicks for the ads. What a shame I'm probably one of your orginal starting members. It was hard enough to see this site go FTA orienated but now this? What a joke and a scam.


I suppose You'll ban me now for trying to help people from not getting scammed? Ya those warnings you posted are to cover your *** when you do get some poor suckers to get ripped off. It happens, people don't read everything all the time and I wonder how many people got scammed already anyway?




Go ahead an delete this now, but be assured I'll post this everyyywheere!
and when you ban me, I'll be back to repost this message many many times over if you erase it .

You cheap a$$ fuc*er you have never contributed a damn here and now you complain about the site wanting to generate some revenue from Google ads.
In fact all your 3 posts have been nothing but sarcasm about the site and it's moderators.

So you kiss our asses and get the hell out.


Edited:By the way yes the Google ads are under rookie Google account but the point of this thread was to warn that some of the ads may be scams and we may not catch them in time.

Let's start with the most important fact. You're history. You've been thrown out of my house. Justly so.

Now then, for others I will answer your drivel. And looking back at your previous 2 posts you ever made, they were absolute nonsense too. So continuing your trend indicates you're not going to change.

Yes, we allow google ads here, but Google controls what ad gets posted based on how they rate "relevance" so you will see different types of ads in different forums topics.

When we find an absolute SCAM, like the promise of an N3 fix NOW, we go and BAN that url in google to stop all their advertising here.

You haven't helped anyone do anything, except yourself out the door. Those ads for N3 were NOT our ads, or any site we are in any affiliation with, and when discovered, were removed.

We had, and still do caution the members here that any ads touting an N3 fix is a SCAM and to be aware.

Lack of intelligence is coveted by idiots...
