Hello there.
I want to address an issue that I've been dealing with on the forums. There have been numerous times when I'm browsing the forums and then, out of the blue, one of the ads redirects me to random websites, many of them malicious. Fortunately, as far as I'm aware, I wasn't infected thanks to my AV, but this is starting to get quite annoying. I'm not sure who's responsible for the advertisements, but I was hoping that someone would take a look into this because again, this is getting pretty frustrating.
Thanks!

The website decides the advertisements, not anyone here. Usually free services on the web have ads that are malicous. Its just a part of the internet. Unfortunately all you can do is ignore them

Welcome to the club. Regularly I'll be on a forum and all of a sudden "Lucy" a "28 year old single mum with double D's" is apparently "in my area and ready to fuck"

so far I got nothing weird a lot of Roosterteeth (cuz I love watching them) and cs:go gambling ads However, I hate the fucking 'smoking, get younger' etc. ads, cuz the pictures they use are so disgusting.
I don't think I clicked on one yet though and I hope I never will. My anti-virus protection is also pretty lax. I just trust myself to not click or visit weird shits. However, if I accidently click on a malicious ad one day....

My addblockeron Win/FF is doing a decent job to protect me from such crap.
However, when I am browsing on my phone (android/chrome) I have to reload the forum every 3-5x I access it due to being redirected to such scum sites. Quite annoying
