I would advise to remove it. This like sound like a pornwebsite and in some country that is forbidden or cause law problems (age rating of factorio is not 18 right?) if parents see that kind of ad on the game you can be in trouble.

Also it can you much attention on game magazines that you dont want.

A another problem when we are on the topic here is the constandly bot that put up topics about all kind of advertisments. In the last 5 Days every time i come to this general discussion board i find a every day a new "spam" bot topic about advertisment with a link to a website. Maybe you should add a better reCaptcha to you forum?

I just check it. The reCaptcha doesnt require a code just click on the box and you good to go well that isnt very effective i guess :D.

They aren't bots, and we already have a Captcha for registration

afraid to say i am not a bot :S if i knew people were gonna call me a bot i wouldnt of posted this at all. just saw it in the game and thought it would be a real problem if that site was a adult rated site. so i posted about it :S i dont normally do forms as i like to figure things out on my own so my bad x.x

I dont think he was calling you a bot, but anyway it's a good idea to raise concerns like this if you think it's a problem but i dont think xnineteen was a porn site
Looks like a website designer when you look at internet archive

thats good to know atleast. i can miss-understand messages at times.

I also actually googled it the day i found it to be sure it wasnt porn or somthing far worse and the spiders of google told me it was a debt consolidation company. so who knows, id just rather not see the devs get sued by an angry parent.

That doesn't mean for sure that it isn't bots, pretty sure there are some sufficiently sophisticated bots out there that can beat captcha's (I remember the vid I saw on FB of the "I am not a robot." captcha being defeated by a literal robot...amusing, but it also proves my point).

I have a feeling the current google search result is one of those rubbish ads web hosting providers put up when a site gets suspended. I doubt xnineteen would be a good porn site name though :lol: "older than 18? ugh."
