Something they need to realize in my opinion is that sometimes you have to look at the situation and see if the friend or the advertising dollars are worth it.
I agree with both points. About 2, they really need to take a closer look at what those advertisers are doing. In the case of AFF and DatingGold advertising on torrent sites, those sponsors keep putting money in the pockets of the people who rip off the very owners of this board, thus giving the thieves an incentive to continue their activities.

Nevermind that they rip off tons of others while at it, but I think it would be good business sense to take a stand against these practices. These people directly hollow out the profits of the tons of honest webmasters generating exposure for Playboy-owned sites. So in a way webmasters are to blame as well, as they keep promoting the sponsors that allow them to fuck them in the ass. Playboy is sadly becoming one of them, by allowing AFF and DatingGold to continue their practices AND flaunt themselves on GFY.
