Everytime I load a page on this site, starting from today, I recieve a prompt to download a file. This following is the information provided from the prompt:
I noticed above that you block Men's Health adds, but I am seeing an ad for Men increasing their Testosterone. Is this something MTGS wants here as an ad?
EDIT: Some of the ads are a little provocative in nature.

Super long load times for adserver.adtechus.com, despite my work having a block on such things (I get an error message that reads "Access Denied (content_filter_denied)").
I load main page and notice it's stalled on the above ad. Wait for 5 minutes for ad to load. Click on "Community Issues" link to see if it has been reported. Wait another 5 minutes. See a thread titled "Ads taking too long" and click on it. Wait another 5 minutes for the page to load. See thread is closed with a link to post in this thread. I click on link. Wait another 5 minutes. Page loads, it says 'please go to the following link and post there" with a link to the first page of this thread. So I click the link and wait another 5 minutes. I hope that after spending 25 minutes just to get to the point where I can post about this problem that something gets done about it.
iPhone 5 Safari. With Safari Settings Accept Cookies=Always I get a redirect to adtrack.king.com and an AppStore popup for Candy Crush Saga. Changing the Accept Cookie setting to from visited and deleting history, cookies and data so far prevents it.
Jumped on bed and grabbed iPad, button hits screen and suddenly I'm being told to sign up for daboink porn app. I click back, but I'm stuck on the ad. Nasty images pop up and my girlfriend is confused and angry.
Anyway, not sure if I had some random pop up virus, or if this stemmed from the site.
Something similar happened while I was on here a few weeks back, so I'm now assuming it was a bad ad.
Video ads everywhere! Nearly 100% of the ads at the bottom are video with audio for me. Because I browse at work this is causing my browser to shutdown due to "problems" about 10% of the time I visit a new page here. I assume that's the firewall, but please stop these ads!
I stumbled across someone complaining about an ad and thought I would forward their message here.
So, I keep on getting these popups when I browse with my iPhone. They open up the App Store (after not letting me go to the page I requested) and keep sending me to "candy crush saga". It has been happening for a while and it is really annoying. I've complained about it a few times, but this time I just give up on hoping this ever gets solved, as it has yet to be addressed (to my knowledge). So yeah, past 2 months or so. *sigh*

I'm running a windows 7 laptop with peerblock set to block http (can clarify what this is in private message if needed) and the ads at the bottom don't show up because of it. It's like two full blank pages from the last post on the page to the quick reply section. I originally navigated here to give a heads up that the ads weren't working in case it would cause a loss of revenue before realizing it might be my own system blocking the ads.
So, just a heads up, I personally have two blank pages worth of space between the last post and the quick reply box at the bottom.
Also like to say, to whoever does all the hard work keeping the ads from going crazy; I often view this website on my android, my laptop at home, and various machines at my school and have never had a new window open, an advertisement with sound, or a video start playing. Bravo! Probably just screwed myself there but credit where credit is due.
For redirected,yet again, to candy crush saga (on my iPhone). FYI, no links were clicked, I was just browsing the forums overall when suddenly.... Boom. Candy crush saga.

I'm getting them too. I don't think its the ads themselves but a problem with the hoverover/click recognition.
The one on the left just starts playing randomly (even when its in a background tab).
Using Chrome.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.

been having this issue on my galaxy note as well. not appreciated whatsoever. and im also having an issue when i click to go to a new page, the new page immediately pulls me down to the bottom where the new ads are at. this has happened multiple times this weekend.
Can we please replace the audio/video ads for images? I don't care what you do, just get rid of them. They're eating up all my internet and the sound they make is annoying. Not only that, but it continually plays new videos once the old ones have finished. The fact that they're at the bottom of the page is bad placement, as they will often start making their sound and I don't know where its coming from and I want it to stop, etc.

Got redirected 3 times in the past 5 minutes, and while I was writing this post.

Just had an ad in Deckbuilding/Playtest Groups that redirected the page to a grey screen that said "this is a pop up blocker test. click on the screen." then gave a pop up blocker ad.
I accidentally lost the screen shot, but I'm looking for it again.

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.

Pubmatic has twice redirected me to a broken web page by just clicking a thread to read.
EDIT: Happened the 3rd time now. Pubmatic.push.qwobl.net with a dns issue

Same. And the audio turns on when you hover over it.
