Well, recently I've just noticed, that by JaGEx's standard, Neoseeker is showing quite a few add's that JaGEx considers illegal.

In the past 20 minutes, I've seen 5+ Power Leveling adds for RS, around 2 Gold Buying adds, and about 9 "Guide to making money adds".


Doesn't this mean, that if JaGEx were to find out, this Forum could technically be shut down?


Example from the "Goals and Achievements" Thread

ad blocker ftw

Those same adds are on the Runescape website as well. So I highly doubt Neo has any concern when they themselves sport the adds.

Neoseeker can't get shut down for getting paid to advertise something which another website classifies as illegal.

Not to mention that both Runescape and Neoseeker use google ads. Which picks ad's based on the content of the page and then you have your add. it just happens that the gold sites are fairly popular when it comes to runescape searches.

Nah, there's nothing wrong with it. I've seen that kind of ad on runescape.com as well. :_ooops:

Google ads automatically pick ads based on the content of each individual page, and gold-selling sites are the number-one advertisers for RuneScape-related pages.

I think you can report the ads to someone on neoseeker, if i remeber right. Either way, every fan site shows those ads and they haven't closed down yet. All Jagex says is to boycot those sites, they don't have the power to close down a site just because they say that selling gold is illegal.

i get these on invisionfree aswell. Be such a shame if they close down the forums because of these.

Actually, I'm pretty sure JaGEx would have the power to shut down such a site.


Say if a site refused to remove them, JaGEx could just say the site was made without any permission at all from JaGEx.

I can't help but laugh when I see a gold buying advertisement on the RuneScape website. But Neoseeker can't be controlled by JaGeX in anyway, unlike the 3rd Party software so its not a problem.

I <3 Adblock, I never see any ads.

if neoseeker was concerned about something like that, they probably wouldn't put the adds on the website.

On a side note, I was wondering where I could get an ad blocker. My computer is running slow because of the billion+ ads on some pages I go to.

Firefox has a program called AdBlock on it. That's what I use.

Neoseeker wouldnt be shut down because of these ads.
