Are these not the most iconic website advertisements of the 00s? I don't actually even think this was a game (hence why it's off-topic) but we have all seen these ads.

What ads do you have a hard time forgetting? Did you ever sign up and try to play this? Did the ads with the random ladies compel you to give them your information?

The worst/best part is that Evony was just a shitty Civilization clone that acted as spyware.

I remember it got to the point where other games were advertising and making fun of Evony.
"She actually is in our game My Lord!"

Yeah, it was funny watching the Evony ads gradually get more and more pornographic as time went on.

Remember that brief period of time when you could not escape ads for GAME OF WAR?

Remember when some director somewhere had the unfortunate task of giving Mariah Carey the direction to "Run"?

Why is it that even some credible news sites use the same shady-ass ad platform? You know, at the end of the article, there will be 3 thumbnails in one row, formatted to be: Disgusting/weird picture, clickbaity headline underneath. What is that? Why is it so pervasive? It's gotta be just one company who built that thing and somehow sold it far and wide.

the fact that these trash ads still exist to this day must mean people are falling for them left and right. The bigger question is who the fuck has infinite money to have these ads literally everywhere??

I'm just going to use this thread as an excuse to share this again:

I found it in my e-mail inbox that I abandoned to spammers. There wasn't even a link attached to it so I don't know what it's an ad for.

I remember the animated AdventureQuest (and other Artix ent) ads, partly because I did play it for a bit. It was (is I guess, doubt the gameplay changed much) pretty fun for a browser game, not gonna lie.

I'm surprised no one's posted the epic soap opera that is Lily's Garden:

i keep getting these ads on twitter of a fake cgi game where the thumbnail is an extreme closeup of this girl's ass and as soon as the ad starts playing it zooms way out and shows you the "game"
