Sandbox

Whilst doing a search for joomla forum software just now I spotted a not very nice sponsored ad titled "Joomla is a waste of time"

I have attached a screengrab BUT I suggest you do the following search and if the offending ad appears then why not click it and have a look at their site - yes it will mean they have to pay each time you click it, but maybe they should have thought about that before

Interesting, but does it really belong in Legal?

I didn't post it in the Legal section - a moderator moved it here.

Fair enough.    Are you sure this is a legal issue?

Okay, I moved this here because I couldn't figure out what forum it should go in and my fellow moderators said to put it here.

It's sad that there are anti-Joomla! ads out there, but there is nothing we can really do about it, except maybe try to make sure they aren't served on the joomla.org sites. I know nothing about how that works or if it is possible, but Brad will know if anyone will.

I can prevent ads like this being served on our sites, however, I've not seen one as yet, or been given a screenshot of one.

Come on, mcsmom.  You can do better than that.  Ummm.  Actually you probably can't since you are doing a fine job.  Keep up the good work.

I wouldn't know where to put something like this either.

If you see the add... click it... it will cost them money... hehe:)
