Superfly Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 No. No. and NO! I have alerted the admin, and it should be down ad soon as possible. DO NOT TRUST THE HACK ADS! and you can do an image like this: [img=image url here] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smumpkins Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yeah, I was wondering about those advertisements, as well. I mean, if TDN is advertising cheating, then that's just not good. XP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 What? There's a hack ad around here? Good thing I haven't seen it. :worried: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 SOme hack site got into the Google ads rotation. It's been popping up all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I've noticed that the ads around TDN have gotten a little messier. o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Ya, I noticed it as well. I opened it and then was wondering why there was a hacking ad. Then I figured that the hack ad hacked into tdn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Well, I hope no one here believes what it says :sad01_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiee Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I noticed the ad too. It's so darn annoying. D: Good thing I didn't click it, since I don't want anyone/anything here to be hacked. :worried: Eh, the ad is NOT catchy in any way, and it looks dumb and false. >:'( I'm hoping TDN can be ad-free. Ads are annoying <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crxsnochic Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Yes, I notified the staff about that ad and I was told that Ian is working on getting it down. Apparently that ad has shown up on a couple of other neopets sites as well. As far as I know TDN can't pick what ads google posts on the site, they can only take steps to block certain ads that come up that they don't want. Unfortunately the blocking process takes time. As far as the hack downloads go, I have no idea if the site is legitimate or if the hacks are legitimate, but I do know that even if the hacks do work, you would definitely get frozen by TNT for using them. Oh, and I'm sure TDN could probably go ad free, as long as we all paid for a subscription to post! And though I love the forum community here, I am also completely broke so I will put up with even more ads if it means I can continue to enjoy this site for free! I have the same feeling about neopets actually, I can use it for free so I put up with the (over? :P) abundance of ads! Maybe when i finally become the doctor I want to be I can pay for premium membership on neopets and pay for TDN, but of course I probably won't have time for either at that point!

Glaukopis Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I am pretty sure that these are just a scam, as most are, but even if they actually helped, TNT would freeze your account for using them. As for the ad itself, I have seen it in many places, so it is probably only on here because of Google Ads, and from what I understand it is not simple to remove, (seeing as it is still on every page on the main site, and it is on some pages more than once).

Guest Sloth Von Karma Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 These ads have been popping up quite frequently on TDN. I found a number of 'Get Runescape Hacks' that I thought was startling for our visitors, but then again, these ads are not directly TDN's responsability, but Google's and its partners, this all on Safari (which I hadn't installed an ad blocker on). Now, on Firefox, you simply install Adblock Plus, choose EasyList from the US, and voilá, no more ads, on any website, including Neopets and TDN. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Ditto HBK. Adblock Plus is simply awesome. :yes: I haven't noticed this ad due to the fact that Adblock Plus is stopping any of the ads from showing up, but it is 100% certain that this is a scam. There's simply no other valid possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
