So I strolled by this morning and found 5-6 posts from yet another retarded WoW Gold spammer. Once I revoked all of their posts, I was curious to see what regular members would see if they tried to load the topic. The attached screenshot shows what I saw. I find it very ironic that the ads can be that specific when the content isn't even output to the page lol. :ninja:

Yeah, I reported that. I didn't even want to try the link, as it might be harmful. Still, we get those once in a while..

Wow... It's been years since I used Opera...

It uses a specific algorithm, so if you viewed it before, it would still show up. Try searching something in Google and it picks it up too

chc, that was actually the first time I had loaded the page in Opera. I assume that it pulled the info from one of my previous page loads in Firefox. Thank goodness for Ad-blockers. (Yes, I do not believe in ~~obtrusive~~ advertisements - all web ads, billboards, commercials on tv/at the movies, et. al.

) Either way, it gave me a good chuckle this morning.
