There's no reason for the forum not to accept this BTC -- it doesn't hurt anyone.
I strongly disagree. He uses the advertising slots to promote another ''service'' which could very well turn out to be another scam.
Even it's slogan seems to be prophetic: ''Not yet ready to get a domain? We can make sure you don't forget us. :-D''
Given the facts reagrding the Bitcoinica incidents I wonder why a scammer tag has not been applied to this person.
Btw.: Interesting read from the Bitcoinica thread:
Zhou Tong won all of the slots in the auction. I don't think that the forum is responsible for determining whether people are guilty in complicated situations like this. If it turns out that zhoutong is guilty and owes Bitcoinica users lots of BTC, he's not going to be exactly 80 BTC short of repaying everyone due to this ad purchase. He's either going to have the money, or a lot of it will be missing. There's no reason for the forum not to accept this BTC -- it doesn't hurt anyone.
What happened to "innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt"? The funds are most likely not stolen, so why refuse them?
innocent until proven - that's how the mafia operates. if you doubt the legitimate source of your business you should by moral standards put it on hold until the legitimacy is ensured. +1. As a long time advertiser and supporter, I sincerely hope Theymos do not take the funds. I will pay for that bid if necessary.
Theymos,
Since AurumXchange offered to pay for the same bid, I agree to give up 6 of the slots to AurumXchange at 10 BTC each.

/OT!!! this is an auction thread.

4 @ 6.5 for the case if zhoutong will not pay, we will make the bet

Wow. This is by far the highest-ever per-slot price, and this auction will have record income. I kind of expected you to cancel your bid, too.
I guess it is easy to make astronomical bids when the money is not yours.

In case your ads will be time-sensitive: Be aware that these ads will not go up until about 3 days from now.
It's okay. I have read the instructions carefully.
Making business with likely stolen funds!? We as a community should turn our back on people with such fishy stories until their innocence is proven. Sad that you are still willing to accept his funds!
+1 it looks bad from an ethical standpoint and is a form of bribery.

Wonderful. As if Bitcoinica nonsense wasn't annoyingly difficult to avoid it will now be spamming the ads too.
I guess there will be ads selling chinese relics.
