I've noticed consistently some in line advertisements for TiVo on the site. Wherever people post the word TiVo, it gets converted to some advertisement. I just wanted to find out of this is a legit advertisement campaign where LG is replacing words with in line ads, or if tihs is some sort of spam.

Let me know if you've seen this, or wanted more info about it.

We're testing out some minor ad stuff with our word censor. So, that's us. You're not being spammed and nothing screwy is going on with your browser.

Thanks. I think there's some free sites online that allow for that type of inline ad replacement so that you don't have to use the profanity filter and end up screwing up the site layout as much.

I hope it's making good money, because I think it's really annoying!!
Is this going to come about to more words?

Agreed with Reppin. I can't stand in line ads, but if the site needs money and those bring a lot of it, more power to the site I guess.

Right now we're just experimenting. We will definitely weigh the pros and cons before of making any major permanent changes.
