The ad in the upper right corner seems to have some relationship to the topic of the thread?
For instance in the thread about Jews, there's an ad about a Jewish dating service. In the thread about Wilgrove's suit, there's an ad for men's suits. Is this consistent throughout?

I have noticed that. I think what we should do is create threads like the one LG suggested, and then all make a point to click on the ads that appear on those pages. Google will suddenly find itself swamped with revenue from DirtyClowns.com.

Adblock up in this motherfucker.
I'm seeing a drunk driving ad, pretty sure that has nothing to do with anything. But I know what you mean, I remember the Snake (MGS) topic, and there was an ad for Metal Gear Solid 4.

So, they have these things called cookies, content matching and IP address detectors.
I'd say Jolt has joined an affiliate network, which serves up ads for a number of clients and directs them to you specifically or based on the thread content.
I get a fair amount of HK advertising, others will get advertising based on where they are, the content of the thread and information based on tracking your upstream and downstream traffic.
Personally I don't mind it, it makes advertising a little more relevant to interests.

No, it assumes you're a single, lonely nerd, I'd suggest not heading to porn sites after NSG. Fool them by visiting Bloomberg first then redirecting.

I initially had Napster ads; I wasn't logged in, and it was before I cleared all my cookies just to see what happened.
I cleared my cookies, and I got ads for some game with a sword-wielding chick (Shiya?). I don't game.
After logging in, I've gotten Best Western ads, which actually makes sense, although I prefer the Hilton.

The ad showing me for this thread is chatrooms.
Could it be because of all the sex posted in this thread?
It would be a good idea to implement for the company, I could see their revenue going up if they were able to pull it off.

Currently I see Team Fortress 2 server ads, which are pretty common. But I also encounter lots of God spam ads, it looks like Jesus Christ Himself pays for those with Paypal or something.

overeating isn't the only eating disorder... considering the Pizza Hut ad... I'd say it thinks you're too thin!

The front page currently has ads for a site with hotel reviews by guest, one about investing in the hotel market and a peer to peer IT support group. On this page I currently see public service ads about microfinancing for the poor and Sichuan earthquake relief.

It's Google AdSense (https://www.google.com/adsense/login/en_US/). Their context/subject-matter-detection can (sometimes, if things are working right) match ads to content.
I have AdSense on several of my sites. I've seen it be both dead-on accurate, and way off. What happens here is typical of its performance on forums.

Some people just create things which feed that notion. Evidence? A drawing of a busty Tau woman, with long hair in a partially dismantled Crisis Suit (I guess the new Tau tactic against melee races is to bedazzle them with scantily clad gunners :p).
