Redirects to the fake java scam site...

Likely one of your ad networks. When I access the main oo site from time to time it redirects to a fake java update scam. I know you've got to pay for the empire but browser hijacks are not very hospitable.





Stay wet my friends.

I haven't been being redirected, but I have noticed a phantom audio ad playing at times when I access the main OO page. I can see nothing on the page that shows a video to correspond with the audio, and no controls to shut it off. Is anyone else experiencing this?





Screw you guys, I'm going home.

That's happening a lot lately at numerous sites. It's especially bad at wrestling sites, that are already overloaded with all kinds of pop-ups, adware, and other nasty shit. It's fucking ridiculous. The only way around it is to keep the volume muted until you need sound for games/movies/news items/etc..





You know, everyone says it's not supposed to make sense, like that's the whole point, dude. And I'm just saying, you know, that's like an excuse for lazy storytelling. Just don't sell me shite and tell me it's gold, all right? I might be stoned, but I'm not high. You know what I mean?

I don't have any problems. I'm running Firefox with AdBlocker Plus, so maybe that's why.

FWIW: I apparently missed a script update from my ad people, and that may be why these intrusive ads are making it through, even though I always de-select them when they are offered.

I'll try to include the new script, starting with all updates this weekend (SD and the 10PV), and if you keep noting problems after Monday-ish, let me know, since I'd rather make more money from donations than from obnoxious underlaid audio ads about erectile dysfunction...
