Website ads

[Kendle]

We have finally found and removed the culprit ad company with all those nasty, loud, malicious ads.

Thanks to everyone that took the directions to submit the ad URL's to the drop box or PM'd them to me.

It was an ugly and long process.

However with the change may come the need for a donation drive. Since the ad company was our largest contributor, ad revenue will drop drastically. Ads will remain on the site, but they are lower paying companies.

Just giving a heads up since this has been an ongoing issue on the website.

Awesome!

Sounds good, but we do still need those donations :/

I'd rather have a safe site to surf than worry about a few dollars going down the drain

I'm glad those are gone

Yeah, the random fake virus pop ups were getting annoying. If someone would have clicked "No" on one of those, instant virus.

I'll donate once i get my next paycheck, it will have to be tens and twenty a paycheck though i need a new car.

 

[Miiikey]

Good Job

 

[Naku_vamp]

i might donate some money when i get my state taxes in lol i was one the people complaining about it XD, i tried to get the URL's but i couldn't figure out how since the URL changes depending where u are and it wouldn't give me the ad's URL directly

But idk if you can talk to the advertisers instead of just stop doing business with them you could have asked just not to use ads with sounds or ads that link to viruses (which is technically illegal)

Virii?

Spot on with this assessment. My Mac-OS and Vista-64 machines were safe, but the Win-XP lappy got nailed. Not that I got a virus. Not something like a NetSky worm. Not something that took some 8 hours to fix. Oh no, not me :cursing:

/combofix FTW!

bahahah Idol ;P

I have gotten that win antivirus pro popup that gives you a virus twice. I got rid of it by searching my registry for anything out of place, and then ran virus scans like a winner!
