Go@gle puts the boot in
Something's happening.
Sites with any 'adult' content including I believe, Thailandstories.com, Stickmanbangkok, and Mangosauce.com that have adverts by go@ooogle are being vetted and their adverts pulled (look at the empty banner adverts on Stickman).
Read "Go@gle kills Mango Sauce" at mangosauce.com for more authoratative info.
Hypocracy rules the waves (or the internet) from big time smut peddlars Go@gle.

That's interesting. Obviously they are out to please some of the conservative forces-that-be(aka the "family values" people). But why do you refer to Google as Go@gle? That doesn't make sense.

In case 'they' do a search and it draws unwanted attention to this site from 'them' as they are obviously going for the Thailand sites.

Yeah, it’s sad that mangosauce.com has been shat upon. The guy David wrote some really humorous articles. He has a great sense of humour that always cracked me up when I read them.
All mangosauce was doing was having a coarse laugh at the ridiculous, be it Thai nightlife, expats, tourists & girlfriends etc.
The fcuken prigs, prudes and ‘PC’ brigade are really pissing me off. I never understand these self righteous cnuts that go to these sites and start posting about how ‘disgusted’ they are. If they don’t like it, fcuk off and find something they do like!! These ‘THOU SHALT NOT!!’ spouting punks need a serious fisting to get their perspective in order.
When he tried to comply with Google, regarding some risqué ad removals, they fcuked him over. There appears to be more to this than meets the eye.
Read what’s left of the mangosauce.com site for more info. I, for one, hope he’s able to find an alternative to Google and continue his amusing articles.

Its bad, as I dont think either mangosauce or stickman would be considered adult websites. But I do know their policies dont allow adult content.
There may be an alternative to Google but it is only available in US for the time being, launched by Yahoo, and those who tried said it cant compete with Google's system, regarding targeted or revenue wise.

I looked at Stickman now and his website still have ads running, so I dont think he have any problems.

I think Yahoo would end up the same, it was them that shopped the Chinese 'dissidents' identities to the Chinese authorities in order to protect their stake in the Chinese internet boom.
Corporate 'morality' = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and nothing else.

Stickman has, I think, started censoring his site and removing naughty words from new content, don't know about the older stuff.
I'm not sure how google could be responsible for killing the site? They can pull their advertising, they are the customer, but how can this kill the site?

He relies on the revenue stream from advertising to finance the site I think.

I actually take google's side to an extent. They have a duty of care to their customers so need to be careful where they place their ads.
If they are guilty of any sort of hypocrisy then maybe he has a point, but it's up to them where they spend their money.
Websites are cheap enough to run, google haven't killed it. They might have taken a nice earner away if his audience was as big as he says, but that is no reason to close the site.
