Okay, I got the message about why the ads are here, and how to make them go away and all. But I really am curious what decides our ads? Is it completely random? Or is there some method to it, because I'm noticing a heavily Vampire and Goth themed ad campaign, and I'm curious if that is by happenstance or design.

The ads are determined by a Google spider. The longer the ads run, the more apropos they'll get. They're showing Goth crap because of the URL.

Teach the forum to recognize them in user's browsers and then tell it to whack them with the banhammer

Not very effectively.
The best way, in my opinion is to ask them to unblock your site.

You're right Zero, people will always be able to evade our measures. So we're not going to go far into it. It'll be a pop-up warning initially, perhaps followed by a 3-strike Ban thing. No point fighting a loosing battle
