Lately the add across the top of each forum has been taken from places ( ) that I suscribe to (with which I subscribe ). Example, alternative doctor's latest supplement. edit: I'm pretty sure they aren't paying the freight to iboats.

That's normal. You could say your surfing is being watched.

Big brother (Google) is watching you, too.

It's just google ad services. They track searches, so when your IP pings on a google ad, it gives you something you have recently searched. Easy fix is to stop using Google if it bothers you, and run an ad blocker. You could also just block www.googleadservices.com, doubleclick.net and a few others if you search. You could do them all in by entering those into your routers block list and it should still allow the website your viewing to be seen
