Really? You see ads? we are ad free thanks to GetGarlic (see their banner at the bottom of each page?) They have been so kind as to sponsor this forum so that we remain ad free (and they sell really fine seed garlic as many here can attest to).
You'll see ads if you don't log in or are a Guest. But really? A Roundup ad? All I can think of is that Proboards, who hosts this and many other forums- and offers it for free- makes their money with ads or a small fee to keep a forum ad free. Maybe the ads that show up are random?
P.S. I just logged out and the ads I see are for Ace Hardware (I was checking out their garden hose offerings a few days ago) and JC Penny (I just ordered Levis from them a few days ago)
Big Brother is watching and he has Peter down for chasing RoundUp. ;)

That's what happens to me on other forums - ads pop up related to something that I just bought! Never here, though.

If you are logged in as a member - you should not see ANY ads thanks to our sponsor GetGarlic.com who pays a monthly fee to keep us ad free.

There's one on the Backpacker Forum; it's the second time I've seen one for Roundup on the companion forum. I don't recall seeing any Roundup ads here though.

Yes, non-members will see ads of all kinds and Roundup has lots of advertising money to spend.
Proboards hosts LOTS of forums and only a couple of them pertain to gardening with only ONE of them being organic (us of course).
I am not surprised that Roundup would be advertised on Proboards. They need to make money from advertisers to keep the forums free.
It is sad to see it on the same page as our site but we have no control over that.
Luckily members will never see that and the ads rotate so even guests will not see it all of the time.
