Default What's with the pwned ad server here?

I like this forum, but on mobile mode, the ad server is totally pwned. Redirect pop-ups w/ malicious aware, and ransome click bait. What's with that? It's not my phone I'm sure bc I run kaspersky web security, and Chrome w/ popular blocking, so this can only be server side. Hope you all can fix this soon.

I've seen this too while viewing the forum on my iPhone. Very irritating.

if you can grab a screen shot of the ads and post them here I'll see what I can do about talking with the powers that be about doing something

That showed up on another forum I was on and the site had been hacked, but another good trick for google ads is go visit Victoria Secret's page a couple times, then you get their ads on this page!
