Random Redirects to App Store
Suddenly, any time I'm browsing threads, I get redirected to partner app pages. This happens 2-3 times every minute. Anyone else experiencing this?

I have the same issue if I use google or another search engine to look for a thread on Safari without being logged in.. I can find a thread and about halfway through reading it, I get redirected to app store trying to get me to buy a war game app... Tanks or something like that.. If I log in and read the thread I have no issues..

Also, if possible get a screen shot. IB is reviewing and removing Ad partners serving those type ads.

Forum admins should understand how this kind of thing will negatively impact popularity. I won't sign up for every forum that I cruise by from a google search. I surfed this forum anonymously for some time before registering. I have to see the value in it first. The excessive ads and pop ups are bad enough. The redirects are a killer. I just quit trying those sites. I'm sure I'm not the only one ignoring certain sites because they are just too much trouble.

We are all in agreement, they stink. The forum owner is actively responding to spam ads and removing them as quickly as possible. Thanks!
