Evony ads?

Hi folks

QC is plastered with ads for Evony at the moment, a webgame with a VERY bad reputation in some quarters, see

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2009/jul/15/games-evony-spam-internet

http://www.bruceongames.com/2009/07/10/dont-play-evony/ and followup http://www.bruceongames.com/2009/07/15/more-about-evony/

Among many others.

Basically they steal content from other sources, rip of Civ like mad, use misleading ads, spam blogs and are alleged to be a bunch of MMORPG Gold farmers.

I just thought it might be worth mentioning, I kinds think it lowers the tone somewhat, though I am sure Jeph 'n Co didn't know about this. If it were my site I would probably get my ad-provider to stop posting their ads, though of course ads pay for QC among other things so I am not wanting to be over-judgemental.

Thoughts?

[EDIT] Wasn't sure where to post this, there was no 'site discussion/suggestions' forum, apologies if it needs moving to somewhere else.

JD:
Yeah Evony is pretty bad

maddness:
Alls I see is an ad for squishable.com

Watched Pot:
All I see is the little "Ad Block Plus" stop sign symbol in the top right corner of my browser window.

Why do you hate Jeph Jacques and his family?
