I thought his sphere was well and truly broadened by now. Slack is the term often used.

Frothers are sad that Stedders's arse is like a tattered shammy leather and no longer has any purchase. If you don't buy a FU-UK Supporting Membership then you must be a foreign and Godless traitor. Send more money.

Apparently it's your duty as a good TMPer to click on an advert at least once per visit. (or at least it's "good etiquette") http://web.archive.org/web/20150116122813/http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=371936

Installing AdBlock Plus is no doubt treasonous.

Someone has accidentally stumbled upon Chicken Bill's modus operandi

No different than any other third-party ad distributor. In order to be competitive, most don't really screen incoming advertisers. It is easier/cheaper to take money, wait for complaints, then kick them out with no refund.

It's how cults work. You don't need many rabid followers who believe in infallibility of The Beneficent Leader to make things uncomfortable for the poor fuckers who just came along for the ride. :wink:

He's an advertiser. I wonder if Obtusetrout will hoof him out for lifting the curtain? :)

I wonder if Bill is playing a longer game here. With the knowledge that the ads often profile people fairly well, perhaps he's just sitting back and jotting down the names of those that complain about the dodgy dating site ads... very handy if you are seeking a target audience for your own dodgy dating site 0;)


meanwhile...

It appears Bill has forgotten he had to delete a bunch of dodgy dating sites (no doubt he's still got a list of names of those that spotted them!)

Bill 'forgets' a lot of things. He really ought to seek medical help for his selective memory loss...

Japanese motorcycle dogging for dwarf chubby Teddy Boys who like ruffs and cycling goats who believe in invisible overlords and carry a packed sandwich lunch at all times. Possibly knitting ads as well.
But nothing to do with war gaming.
