I am seeing no adds. Run Adaware or some spyware program. Something's got a hold of your PC behind the scenes.

Sorry, I thought you meant popups, banners, etc. I now know what you are saying. We have a spammer posting on this site. The admins need to take care of this individual.

perhaps we could use a few more admins to be able to delete this junk. I certainly check the boards on a regular basis for new stuff and would be willing to delete the junk.

It's called spam.

Not to be confused with the food concoction known as SPAM. That stuff is tasty...especially grilled with cheese on it. Mmmmm...SPAM.

Because:
  1. We are on the Internet
  2. Anyone can post here
  3. People think junk ads can sell their stuff
  4. (Maybe most importantly) People know that links on message boards can potentially help their ranking in Google and other search engines
That's why they'll post random gobbledygook messages with links in their signature areas... those links can help their Google Pagerank.
