Oh it wasnt just a popup, i was actually redirected to the site in question. It was in my browser history. Golly, probably got malware from that alone sigh.

Can I just paste the url here or do you want me to PM it to you Ant?

Hmm. That is not good at all.

However, we will try to switch to a new larger advertisement provider with very good ethical reputation soon, that claims to be able to bring us more revenue. The only potential "problem" is that it is mostly focused on a female audience, and our audience is mostly male, but we hope that it will work out well.

You should preferably send it in a PM. Thank you.

 

[First_Witch]

Done.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you. I have blocked that advertisement provider.

^This ad seems very suggestive, randomly got it in the Sonic discussion thread.

Hmm. Unfortunately (?) I cannot see that advertisement, as it says that I need to give Google access to tracking cookies in order to do so, which I would much prefer to avoid.

It also seems to be a Google Drive link, which might publicly compromise my personal privacy if I click it.

What is the advertisement's contents?

Sorry I'm not good at posting screenshots here (I thought it was visible for everyone) essentially it says:

"Make sure you're alone before looking these most indecent photos" (yes it's worded exactly like that) then has a picture of a woman in a suggestive position, naturally I didn't click on the link nor post it here but it is sus.

Okay. That seems suspicious, yes, but in the future you should probably upload the screencapture image to another platform, such as Imgur, instead, and also copy the advertisement link without clicking on it. Otherwise there isn't much that we can do about the problem.
