    I can't see how it can be a forum script error. Just look at the code in the source, and paste it into a doc, and then view it in a browser. The ads show.
    I can only think that something is blocking this URL, be it google, or something else.
    Really don't see how it can be a DB error.

    Ya, he could of used an if condition to block the ads from showing up in that forum. That's the only reason I can think of.

    Another fact for Google banning publishers; those breaking Adsense TOS

    It was brought to my attention Shazz's signature (Googleâ„¢) leading to a non content page, but Adsense.

    I'm not sure about this but I think I have seen several DP members with Googleâ„¢ on their signatures as well, could be this fact cause the banning?

    Well maybe I'm wrong because I read long time ago that Google doesn't allow pages like this, only ads but zero content.

    Even though they don't belong to DP, but I was thinking of the revenue sharing affecting each others.

    dp had problems with people stumbling the forums and crashing it. So he probably asked them to not allow dp.

    It was banned by Stumble Upon because of the stumble exchanges coming from DP. It is against Stumble Upon's TOS to exchange stumbles just like it is against Digg's. No worry, I am sure that Shawn did not have much use for them anyway.

    It would be nice if the owner (I think his name is Shawn) would post an answer to this so we can all calm down :)

    I think the adsense sharing days are over for this forum. Like Minstrel said... This forum does have tons of stuff against the TOS of google. Google is fighting people who sell links... and shawn endorses one of the biggest link marketplace.

    DP doesn't actually endorse link sales:

    "This would be the place for people wanting to buy and sell links.
    Note: This is not an endorsement of selling links, it's to get these threads out of the main forum."

    Google may still dislike that it facilitates them.

    He would have to hire so many mods to prevent link selling. Its an open community, not a lot can be done. Even on the thread category he states he doesnt support it.

    If its sig links you;re talking about, he could add nofollow.

    Google doesnt hate DP. It loves DP. If shawn makes the apparent $20k+ a month in adsense, he will be making google $100k approx. They would be daft to ban him
