“Pornography marketers use methods such as pop-up ads, adware and various other sorts of hidden and malicious software, which do things such as hijacking browsers and directing computers to pornography websites,” the study said. “Unethical marketers install these programs on computers without the permission or knowledge of Internet users by, for example, bundling them with game demos and music youth may download or disguising download links as patches or upgrades.”

According to ASACP Executive Director Joan Irvine, responsible members of the adult entertainment community work hard to keep children from viewing content intended for adults.

“Fortunately, the majority of adult companies behave responsibly,” Irvine told XBIZ. “Most ASACP members already use ‘warning’ pages and other methods to keep kids off their sites, and ASACP’s new labeling project should help make sure adult sites will be clearly identifiable as such, and will be viewed only by adults who want to view them.”

I wish they’d not lump us all together. Those who know me know I’ve had Hair To Stay online since 1994 and have never, ever had a popup on my website. I’ve had several paysites and run 3 now and have no popups on them. I despise them. I refused to use age verification services because I don’t agree with them — they charge you X amount of dollars to prove you’re over 18, then a year later make you pay again — what, did you turn 15 all of a sudden?

Ok, off my soapbox. My new local chat forum has taken off pretty well and the outside-the-area section is picking up, too. Spent most of today rebuilding the password files for one of my paysites — had a server error that wiped all the passwords. What a mess!

Contractor just left, finished priming the walls and the latex paint really smells bad, even in this part of the house. Hopefully overnight the central a/c will move it around until it disappears.

Today I learned the difference between someone I’m told is a good mechanic, but who in actuality sucks, and one who knows his shit and proves it.

Few classic car sightings today, mostly Impalas and pre-1950 cars.

I am craving wonton soup so think I’ll grab myself some tomorrow for lunch. I deserve a treat!
