Wait, you were on MR while at work? And HR found it?
That's unfortunate.
That's unfortunate.
If you actually had to speak with HR because of a poorly targeted lingerie ad on an APPLE forum I'd probably start looking elsewhere for work.
This might be of some use:
What do I do about annoying ads?

$0 and you get ads including NSFW ones.
$25 for contributor level and no ads.
$50 for super contributor level and you get very NSFW ads, mostly about latex and such. All Apple related content removed.
Heh guys while I can’t reveal where I work, Macrumors is part of the job 
. Just was doing a presentation and I hadn’t closed the window and someone on the client raised a question. HR has my number on speed dial and it really wasn’t a big thing really.

sorry for the trouble. we'll see about getting the racy ads removed.
FYI, I've noticed more of those types of ads on the few other sites I frequent (like car enthusiast forums), kind of out of the blue too. Hahaha, maybe all the "adult merch" companies are blowing their ad budgets this month
I had a similar experience with Google ~20 years ago when I started working at my current place of employment. I needed information on PID controllers (Proportional Integral Differential, for those not in the know) so entered 'PID controller' (no quotes) in the search line. I swear the first 20 results were for what looked like porn sites. I immediately went to the IT guy and let him know what happened. When I changed the search terms to 'PID temperature controller' I had no problems.
I just googled PID Controller (no quotes) and I am very disappointed by the results
Ditto. It's crazy that after 10 years, they still haven't removed such provocative results!
Well, the cat's out of the bag now.
Not an actual cat. Not an actual bag, either, more like... well, it's hard to describe, and I can't post any pictures until after the super contributor level payment clears.
Hehe, meat'n'bone and then a beautiful behind on the same page.. that's something.

The idea of Patreon-like Tiers isn't a bad idea for MacRumors. Or is it? Perhaps.

I wouldn't mind if @arn decided to implement a $10 (I don't know, it gives access to PRSI), and a $50 "donor" bracket.
we've talked about pushing our subscription model more, including adding tiers. But haven't pulled the trigger yet.
