i opened it in a private browsing window and it seems sketchy. the link the ad points to redirects in my browser to a "this site isn't actually HTTPS" warning. if you edit the URL to just be HTTP it goes to some weird site with really odd articles

e: seems quite spammy. some of the articles reference job openings but then you go into the article and there's no link to an outside site or even an internal job system or any link whatsoever within the article. spam spam spam, yum

I got a request for my location on my mobile phone, which is pretty creepy and invasive. In devtools I found at least one ad that may be attempting to get geolocation data, dunno if this is the one that triggered it on my phone.

There is a separate toggle for these ads I believe. That is one of the "internal" ones even if its commercial - it's purchased directly from the forums store just like the others.

This ad links to an offsite choose your own adventure game that glorifies the player character murdering a ten year old girl:
Links to: https://chooseyourstory.com/story/the-price-of-freedom~3a-innocence-lost

Do we really want this on the site? I have no idea where it came from.

Edit:here’s where the ad came from.

This ad sends me to a page with a password prompt and a fake virus alert. The password prompt makes closing the tab quite irritating.

Edit: The ad itself I would have just linked the image but it's one of those weird text/image hybrid ads.
