I mean come on. Its been nearly a week. I have seen porn sites with faster turn around times. Can’t the reader staff of Ed or I don’t know, the Green Goblin maybe, do something and contact Google? Get feedback.

This is NOT good for the site and I think it merited a pitting.

Hurry up chaps.

My god, to what sort of depths has this site sunk? When the vitriol and sheer cussing brings a red hue to my cheeks, I know it’s time to find a more polite board. This one has gone to the dogs!

They _did_ get the malware warning removed and rather quickly by removing the ads and letting Google know that they had done so…then they turned the malware-laden ads back on, like 10 seconds after the warnings were removed, apparently just to see what would happen.

So…it wouldn’t really be all that surprising if Google is less likely to believe them this time.

Mac: “After you”

Tosh: “Oh no! After you.”

Mac: “Oh no please, I do insist… after you.”

Tosh: “Why thank you kind sir!”

_Someone_ is in need of a stern lecture, and possibly a whipping with a wet noodle.

Per the Pit rules, complaints about the administration if the board are not allowed here. If you want to discuss the issue - politely - there’s already an ATMB thread for that.

Thread closed.
