Okay this is getting annoying, today gaf-ads redirected me to some sex dating site and now to some java "updating" page. Seems legit:

me too, I just got a pop-up ad "flirt-fuck" with a naked lady with huge breasts...wouldn't mind if I'm home alone, but now is not the right time ;)

And now Firefox is preventing "this page from automatically redericting to another page" every minute! I'm scared to look where it wants to redirect me.
 
Ads with sound are the devil.

Especially those Doom 3 ads, you hoover over and a fucking sound is playing and you get scared and spill coffee all over yourself.

Fuck those.
 
Right, yesterday I got redirected to casino.com and just now I ended up on livefun.tv and moments later got a virus alert.

Please do something about this.
 
Another redirection, this time to:

h__p://newt3.adultadworld.com/jsc/fm.html?n=607&c=18656&s=0&d=15&w=1&h=1&q=Windows_XP&z=80279701

And then immediately to:

h__p://www.888poker.es/media/poker-plus.htm?utm_medium=mb&utm_source=2763

This happened while I was in the middle of writing a post.

Please please please fix this.

Are you sure that's not on your end, brah?
 
Got the Java ones a couple of times today, using Chrome with no extensions and just GAF opened, one did show after clicking reply in a thread and the other clicking in off topic community, no virus alert from my antivirus though, is this related to the admin account hack ?

Yeah I get something like that too. Then there was something like sexypumas.net. Leaving GAF open and then coming back to that... Well at least I don't live with children so it's not a huge problem.
 
Let's pull the ads and replace them with an NPR-style pledge drive.

I want a four-pack of environmentally-friendly NeoGAF tumblers for my donation of $150 or more.
 
Just got a message from my virus protection saying that it blocked content on Neogaf because it was harmful content I think it was the same banner ad that has been giving people pops ups and attempting to give them viruses.
 
Looks like it has been replaced since i don't get any pop ups or weird ads so it seems. Gaf is also loading faster now. But i do have a blackbar sometimes a top and down.

I think Evilore pulled the ads of the site as it is the same for me .

Edit : never mind there back.
 
Hmm, I use the dinosaur work computer for most of my gaf browsing (I think its running IE7?) anyway, between the obviously out of date browser and the work filter, I've never seen a GAF ad while at work. Guess that is to my advantage on this day.
 
Didn't get any pop-ups or annoying ads over the weekend so I started to think that the problem had been solved. Then I got to work this morning, opened GAF in one tab, switched to another tab and minimized my browser while I checked e-mails. Opened my browser again a few minutes later to find that my GAF tab had been replace with some "sexy cougars".

Just do something about this already, please? You're hosting ads that redirect users to porn sites. Not cool.
 
Got a max volume video ad right now (Kika moebelhaus raeumt - local austrian ad)
Seriously annoying while wearing headphones.

Anyone else?
 
I don't use AdBlock, but FlashBlock is enabled everywhere. I know it's not ideal (some ads might depend on the Flash content to "call home" to know it was viewed) but I couldn't find a way that truly disables Flash (as in Javascript reporting it as not installed) selectively.
 
I'm getting Noah Ads with Audio and it scared the crap out of me >.>

Google Chrome if it makes any difference.

I was getting the same ad in Firefox just 15 or so minutes ago but it hasn't appeared for a short while now, so I assume it's been dealt with.
