    I am concerned that ads for companies/products such as Water4Gas are showing up on Prius Chat.

    This forum has an impeccable reputation. I'd hate to see it squandered for a few pennies by running ads such as this quackery.

    My understanding is that Google Ads gives you a method to block specific ads. I encourage you to use it if it exists. If not, I'd suggest reconsidering your affiliation with such an ad source.

    I feel the same way, Brian. Ads for the wonders of RV camping I find amusing, but pure bogus BS Water4Gas is irritating, as if PriusChat is endorsing this snake oil.

    I've added about 5 different domains to the blocked domains in Google Adsense, so if you can see what the domain source of the ad is, please post it and I'll go in and block it too. Unfortunately I don't necessarily see the same ads that you all see, so providing this information will be very helpful.

    I will do my best to provide that in the future.

    And, thanks!
