Im starting to notice a pattern between things I discuss on the game server and google ads served to me on the website.

Please tell me Im paranoid. It could just be that I like to discuss universally relevant topical things, but that doesnt sound like me.

Can I get a "no, dont be silly"?

Hi LT:

i cant read all that, rom. i rarely read all my posts, let alone all yours. i think i got the gist though.

im not much for conspiracy theories, but it is starting to look to me like internet traffic is being monitored at the ip address level. it would be nice to think it was as simple as a bot getting access to chat logs.

does seem like its more than tracking cookies. (i always block cookies, and rarely interweb the bs i discuss on the servers).

id be interested to know if anyone else has noticed a pattern.

Haven't paid much attention but I will start.

Hi LT:

That link should take you to the post with the information. The post at the top of the page should be all you need to read, not the entire thread.



It is the post from comedown.

I hope that helps,

yes, yes. guess thats most of it. but its not like advertising cookies and tailored ads havent been around for years.

the pattern ive been noticing lately was enough to make me post here, and enough to make me google a bit once i had. s'all im saying. and check out what i found:
