Is SVrider suddenly giving us ad-cookies? I am not sure, but SV rider is pretty much the only motorcycle website I go.
Lately I have noticed on sites like Digg and my local TV station that I am getting personalized advertisements---about MOTORCYCLES.

Harley ads on digg.
Local motorcycle store ads on KFDX's page.

Hmmm. Is the new management tagging us without telling us? it doesn't really bother me, but I just noticed it recently and it seemed odd.
Anyone else noticed this lately?

I don't pay attention.

It's as simple as everytime you search for something with google it gets tracked and logged. So again...

I'm still gonna stick around for and participate in the whine-fest, I'm just going to announce now my intention to delete all my posts (wait, can't do that anymore) and take my toys and go home. Probably start my own forum with no rules or adds. Who's coming with me?

That's cool, always prefer seeing useful ads. Google adsense seems to be improving lately, getting more and more useful ads (yeah, ok, so I never actually click them, but one day something useful might pop up).

Been quite happy with the 'take over', haven't noticed anything significant changing; in fact only thing I can think of that affects me in any way is the SVOTM changes, and that had nothing to do with the new owners anyway.

yeah, I wasn't complaining, just curious. I do google sv related stuff sometimes, so maybe that's it. I don't use Gmail though. Meh, somehow I didn't realize (spend way too much time on the forum) that I was beating a dead horse.
