Why am I getting Ashley Madison ads (it literally says "Life is Short: Have an Affair")? I swear I haven't been looking up affairs, love, nookie, escorts or anything else. For some reason, I blame Catbone for this. Only other link would be Hugh Freeze. lol. :p

Haven't seen them...didn't even realize they survived the data hacking either.

I imagine their ads read something like:

"Ashley Madison: Come for the Adultery, Stay for the Divorce Court Subpoenas"

I recall awhile back some poster complaining to Freak that everytime he logged on he constantly saw adds for gay porn. And then several people replied that the ads were based on your search history :)

They usually are but I've had this pc for two days and have only looked up really dull stuff because of the fire we were in. I haven't even looked up porn - lol. I'm certainly not looking up affairs but I wonder if without a search history they just assume that those on a sports board would be good targets for their service.

I checked your post history. And, I may have found something pertinent.
You were talking about a baseball game between SCarolina and Oregon State.
You stated: “I hope the Cocks slam those Beavers”.

Here's how I define a "GOAT" player, with equal talent & coaching who would I pick?

QB - Peyton Manning
RB - Barry Sanders
WR - Jerry Rice

You see my point, thus I feel it's purpose is to only raise discussion to many factors to define the category.


Also, this BasketVols team is special. I legit feel terrible when I have to miss watching them play lol. I like their togetherness, but not in an "us against you" way like Martin stirred up, it's more like close family. They love one another, but also see their faults and are pushing to help each other get better.

One of the coaches shared a small point on Sports Talk a few days ago, Jimmy asked when did he "know" this team was special. He said it was during a game early in the season, Admiral had made a mistake... something the staff was going to point out and teach on. Before any coach said anything Bone spoke up, and Admiral listened and then agreed with Bone and took responsibility.

Having players willing to coach each other AND be coached by one another is special.

Facebook a factor? I seem to remember they'll track you even if not logged in. Sometimes the ads don't make sense. I used to see porn ads (Russian URLs, as I recall) years ago when checking sites for no-CD cracks for games, so I didn't have to keep switching disks every time I wanted to play a different game. For some strange reason that seemed to be the only ads they had that weren't game-related. And that was well before the ads were based on tracking your site visits, I never visited porn sites, and no one else used the computer.

I haven't used FB on this computer. I have to figure out what my logins were because they were all destroyed in the fire. I think it may just be that I looked up computers and sports and that was enough for the algorithm since I don't have much search history on this machine. It doesn't bother me I just wondered how in the world it happened without a more direct search history.

On one hand, if we only sign Darnell on Wednesday Ill still be hyped AF. Itll be a great class & the backbone for years to come. On the other hand, Ill admittedly be a bit disappointed solely because the entire day we will likely see our rivals get better & I wont get to have that satisfying feeling of seeing numerous "_____ _____ signs with the University of Tennessee!" on Twitter.

Hoping Pruitt/Tee have a surprise for us somewhere.
