    Why

    Why do I keep getting the "Browse thousands of gay singles" Zoosk banner ad with a shirtless guy on it every single time I visit this forum? Are you trying to tell me something?

    I'm in IT so I know full well how that works except none of those cookies exist because I've never been to any gay websites (other than WWW.dabears.com). and even after completely erasing all cookies I still get it.

    No theory, just seems odd that I see it frequently here when I've never seen it anywhere else.

    All I get are ad's about Las Vegas, ITT, and blockbuster.

    Targeted ad's....

    Technical answer
    Because a general ad server selects the ads they want to paste, and they rotate from ad to ad so that they get the best value for their money.

    Fun answer:
    Already been given. Stop going to gay sites

    Real answer:
    Because you are not a superfan. become one and you wont see the ads
