Saw this in the ads by google:

Um... I personally don't think this should be a CB banner ad, but that's just me. We're not allowed to talk about cracks or wares, but wares can be advertised? Just thought I'd point it out.

This has been discussed several times before (although not recently). Jon has no control over which ads are shown. If you don't like them, buy a supportership and turn off the ads in 'Settings'.

CB hasn't run ads from the problematic distributor for some time now.
Undertow, while a network sniffer can be abused it's not illegal in and of itself, which may be a fine distinction but it's one the police and CB care about.

You can't turn off the adverts that appear on the "Out of BA" screen, as far as I know anyways.

Is this really that big of a problem? I mean who here ever uses all of their BA anyway?

Well, I use all of my ba all the time. And I don't really MIND thea ad, I just... I don't know, thought someone else would? It seemed weird.
