JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.
I was in the PYF Dumb Moves in Marketing thread when, perhaps appropriately, my browser window got redirected to
code:
http://www.wpvsurveys.com/.
I'm using Firefox, I have UBlock installed but not running on SA, and I don't have no-ads so it could have been goon or non-goon (I obviously suspect non-goon).

I just got this ridiculous full-window light boxed pop-over auto-play video while I was in the middle of crafting the very finest of posts.



I'd been on the page for a while so I guess it came with an ad update/refresh, I wasn't able to get an address for the ad or anything since at least it didn't divert me anywhere and was willing to go away when I X'd out of it.

Do you by chance have Charter Internet service and browse the forums over HTTP rather than HTTPS? Some ISPs do truly heinous poo poo where they inject ads directly into your pages. My friend in Colorado recently experienced this with Comcast advertising some new service.

Does lowtax make more money from ads displaying no bs everyone buying no ads?

Sent Lowtax an email. What sucks is I dunno really what ads are doing it because they redirect and then if I hit the back button the ad itself is different... does the URL link it takes us to help at all?

My anti-virus is starting to just block the redirects on its own once in a while which means you guys are fairly close to Google bots marking the domain as a malicious site :\

I have literally no control whatsoever over ads so while I understand the issue there's nothing at all I can do about it.

In that case are these posts even helpful?

'Cuz if it's more of an annoying 'yeah I KNOW dammit!' then I'll just shoot an email to that address you provided directly if I stumble across an ad rather than post it in here. Not trying to be a pain or anything.

Okay, they immediately replied and asked if anybody who experiences a bad ad could report the following:

Can you give me some details please

I saw one of these for the first time, it was straight-up a redirect to some lottery bullshit. Not even a pop-up, it just hijacked what I was looking at altogether.

A website with the URL "g9i.sevmob.com" keeps pulling me out of SA and into Google Play to load up its page for Uber. So this is what they mean when they talk about "disruption" :v:.

That banner image in your post in this thread is also getting randomly replaced by ads. I'm inclined to believe you but Housecall is showing as running clean.
