Pixel Joint Forum: SomethingAwful using Lil Dudes for advertising?

Message

Well the answer's yes but I was wondering why, exactly. It's obviously and paste job but why are they using them? Have they asked people from here to use them?

I'm not accusing or anything, I'm simply curious. Anyone else notice this?

	They're only fake ads created by forum users. Clicking on them should simply send you back to the SA front page. I don't think there's any harm done since they can't be making any money off it anyway. But yeah, the maker of the ad probably should've asked permission for using those... unless he did ask permission or made them himself. I'll take a look in the SA forum thread about these ads.

The URL gave me the impression that they do generate revenue. Seems pretty complicated to send someone back to the front page.

	Huh, that is true. Not sure if that's legal or even possible. But anyway, I took a look through all of the Lil' Dudes and I couldn't find any of the ones shown in the ad. I'd say there's a good possibility that he made them himself using the template.
