GoDaddy.com. He has simply bought the domain, but he hasn't done anything with it yet. Until a person does something with a domain (in this case, probably paying for another year or so of hosting or registration), the hosting company keeps them active as springboards for ads. In other words, the ads you see aren't his responsibility, and may not be anything like what he has in mind. Most forums don't look that way from my experience.
