Re: partisan hockey?
That how the site pays for itself. If you want, you can pay for all of its operating costs. Or you can go start your own college hockey site on your own money that doesn't need ads. Or you could simply shut the **** up.

Re: partisan hockey?
I asked the question and got no answer: Does USCHO have any control over what is advertised or how on its own site? I figure USCHO does, and could spare its users from partisan prattle if they wished. I'm disappointed with feeble apologists refusing to accept responsibility for their actions or inaction. Worse yet is the cudden who defends a lack of responsibility in others.

Re: partisan hockey?
wrong, you asked the question and were given very clear and direct answers. You were told that USCHO has control over what is advertised; they exercised that control by subcontracting to Google. Google then uses information stored in cookies on your computer to direct ads to you when you log onto this site, on based on some algorithm which examines what kind of websites you visit and then spits out the kinds of ads the writers of the algorithms think might appeal to you.
How hard is that for you to understand?
It sounds like you actually DO understand it and don't like it. If that is the case, stop whining. You got your answer. Either subscribe to the "extra" site so you don't get those ads, stop coming here, ignore the ads, or, if you are like most of us, look at the results of the algorithm and see what it says about you and compare that to who you are.
Notice that the algorithm gives you what it thinks you want to see. If you are getting lots of partisan ads, then the algorithm must have data that shows you are attracted to partisan sites (oh, wait, it's only everyone else who's partisan, right? You, and you alone, are reasonable! I forgot that momentarily.)
Now can the rest of us get back to having fun discussing what these algorithms might disclose about the thinking of the people who wrote them?

Re: partisan hockey?
This made me laugh right out loud.
I saw your answer. Pretty interesting if you ask me. Subscribe to extra. Or get over it. This is no different than ignoring the ads on TV.

Re: partisan hockey?
You are trying very hard to present yourself as the intelligent voice of dissent, Oso, but you just don't seem to have the horsepower for it, so your posts come off as nothing more than attention-seeking behavior. Maybe you want to let others on this site do the heavy lifting and stick with trying to have some fun. Nothing wrong with that.

They probably do have control, and go for as many as they can get as it gets them more money. Regardless it doesn't matter because if you don't like it, don't post here, start your own site, or pay them yourself.

I thought the first answer was good enough. I see the ads but don't click them. I see similar type ads under other websites that I use.
