I've literally never seen this landing page I keep seeing people talk about. I'm curious why some see it and others don't.

I definitely see them every time I visit, and on most pages, not just the entry page. But...

Hi.

Is there any way I can visit the site without having a video of semen oozing from a man's anus in my face?

Secondly, am I running the risk of having illegal images in some of the places I visit stored on my devices?

Thanks.

I thought that Gold members were being spared the ads? It looks like you are a Gold member, so I don't understand why you're seeing them as well.

I find it pretty irksome as well. But I know that this a business, and that Mr. LPSG is trying to keep enough cash flowing in to keep the site going, so I try not to complain about it with any frequency.

I appreciate that. We have a new system @LPSG Simon is putting in place that will create a rotation which will help with that situation.

Are you logged in when you see them? Gold Members don't see any ads unless they aren't logged in.

Hi

Not logged in automatically, so before I log in I get these ads and if I visit to see if a thread has had any activity for example and don't take the time to log in.

The ads are very hardcore and I work in countries from time to time where they are very illegal and so I am worried if they are stored on my devices. I can't access the site in these countries, but I assume they are stored somewhere and so I would or could be deemed to be taking these images into the country if my devices were checked, which does happen.

Could there be a separate landing page for people like me who either don't like them or have concerns about them being on their devices? Or any other private reason they may have for that matter.

Great idea.

@LPSG Simon I think we should be able to create a login page without banners for users who want that right? :)

I too believe I have a concern with these ads. I see them at the top of almost every forum and thread page that I visit on this site. And some of the content / body parts / sexual acts featured in those ads doesn't really align with my preference and I am almost to the point of being repulsed.

A bit of a turn off as I'm trying to browse and seek content to turn me on.

I appreciate all that this site is and all that it stands for. For many years. Thank you all for keeping it running! Let that be said.

But, just thought I'd share my two cents / concern. Hoping the ads can be switched or at least allow us to opt in to certain ad preferences?

Hi. I understand that. That is why we've made it so gold members don't see any ads. That is one thing we thought was fair.

One of the things that I am going to look at doing is making who sees what sort of ad a bit more nuanced. It will take a bit of research - the amazing thing about LPSG is that it has such a varied community, so there are a lot of different folks to get to know while we asses what the best approach is *crunches data*

Absolutely agree that we are a broad church, but the message from advertisements is that we are the target market for that product, and clearly many of us are not. It therefore becomes a message that you are not the sort of person who belongs here.

If I can add my two cents, I would match the advertisements to the sections. People are showing their preferences by the sections they visit. This is a much more valuable advertising proposition.

In the general areas, I would have general stuff for all tastes, but nothing too hardcore.
I agree 100%. We are playing around with this and trying our best. I've mentioned this in a few other threads about this that ideally, we'd love to have the blandest ad possible but bland doesn't work. This ad has outperformed every other ad we've had by an astonishing margin. We are trying to come up with something that is less hardcore and less outputting.

Hi Simon, can you let me know whether the ad images are automatically stored anywhere on devices that have opened the pages with them on?

That would generally be up to your browser, device, etc...

I hesitate to dispense advice about this specifically. I do know that Chrome browser has an excellent private browsing mode that is supposed to not leave any footprints on your device (don't know about mobile), but as far as how deep that goes in terms of images stored, etc... you would have to do your own research or consult a professional on the best way to go about this.

The other solution that might be more simple is to simply have an alternate device that you travel with. I assume that we aren't the only adult site that you look at with any regularity. Again, Im not a professional, but if I really had to worry, I would invest in a "clean" device to use for travel, that never loads so much as a raised hemline or a whisper of anything scandalous.

Just tried this. I didn’t log in but used “lpsg.com” and “forums” together as keywords in a browser search and arrived at a banner free forums page. Then, i logged in and was able to remain banner free.

If you just go to lpsg.com/terms you will be able to do the same :)
