Yeah, that's crossing a line. I might have to enable my adblock again, if this gets worse.You're better off posting in this Septagon btw, more chance of Cheat reading it.
Adsense dropped us.

They did it because of some shady stuff, Cheat will make a thread later on about it.

Yeah, I've disabled the video ads for this new service, but I can't really afford to turn them off completely (BTW, you really should have posted this in Septagon because I am only just now seeing it).I'll make a post about this whole stupid mess later, but right now I am still looking into saving our site from drowning.
So hey, about that profanity filter...
I'm confused. NeoGAF uses Adsense and that site has plenty of profanity and nsfw threads.
