It was an annoying video ad that kicked in audio without me mousing over or interacting with it whent he page loaded. The video link went here. It loaded when I looked at Galspanic's Obzedat list of all things lol. It was approximately the third page of salvation I loaded up when I hit salvation.
Sry... the picture is freakin huge.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
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 got an ad this morning for Stansberry Investment Research, a known fraudulent company founded by a dbag who has actually been convicted of fraud after stealing $1.5 million dollars from duped investors.
Another audio ad. Notice the lack of any pause or mute buttons. This is, it seems, a pre-ad ad, as though the ad proper is hosted on some YouTube-like site that has attached its own unskippable, unmutable ad to it.
The audio ads are getting really bad, I can't leave MTGS open in another tab without being blasted with sound unexpectedly.
Jace bounce was a -1. He could do it 3 times before he would die. Liliana can only do it once before having to do her +1. Overall very disappointed with her unless we get Madness.
Crap, you're right, she's not as good as one of the single most overpowered cards ever printed. Unplayable!

Yeah, this has been happening to me too. From searching the internet, I'm pretty sure that this is a problem with advertisements on the site. Can we ban these ads please?
I'm not sure where I should be posting this, but I'm running into a malware issue found when using Google chrome and visiting the forums. I can only assume it's one of the ads as I've never had this problem before and it seems to happen sporadically.
It just started happening as I went to look up some rulings, then rumor mill, even while looking for the proper place to post this message. I tried other forums too, some would stay, some change within 2-3 min, and some just come up with this screen. This is why I assume it's the ad (and that I've never had this happen ever) but unfortunately I have not been able to witness this ad.
This is the message I am sometimes getting:

I've also been getting the malware alerts all morning. It seems like one particular ad (or set of ads) is triggering it, because I've had it happen where I was looking at a page, hit refresh, and then got it as it was reloading the page.
A "Your Flash Player Needs To Be Updated" Pop Up Ad popped up while looking at the Modern Masters Spoiler. I've seen it on other sites and my flash player is up to date, so I assume its some sort of scam.

Why do I like posting in lists:
1. It allows me to express multiple thoughts without a need to write an essay or make multiple posts. 2. I tend to have multiple thoughts at the same time. 3. Having the right first opinion is sometimes more glorious than having a grammatically correct second opinion. 4. It allows you as a reader to pick out the most erroneous point and counter-comment, allowing you the chance to express an opinion and look like a sensible person when I sound like a dummy.
I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.
Guess what I found on the main forums index at 4:40 PM Arizona time on May 16, 2013.
If you guessed another scummy ad that plays audio without my consent or at least a mouseover, you'd be correct!
Please send this advertisement packing. There is an image of the flash-ad attached to this post. If anyone could help me track down the address on these to assist in nuking them once and for all, I would be greatly appreciative.
EDIT: And while I was posting this (i.e. this topic, 10 minutes later), I was greeted by another "fine" advertisement. Not sure if this exactly fits under that type of "ad that looks like it's a warning message from your computer" scum that's unwelcome on this site, but it's close enough to bear mentioning. It's also attached.

Ok, I have really had enough of this. I stopped visiting MtGSalvation for about a month because I'm getting the same audio ads. When I came back, they were still here. Today, two started to play simultaneously. I'm just hopping on here to add my voice to Blippy's.
The ads are almost always for Madrid Tourism or World Vision and play at the bottom of the page. There are laundry detergent and hygiene audio ads also embedded in the videos. They play on *every* thread I visit, though I don't see them on the front page of the forums, User CP, etc.
I use Safari, and I've cleared my cache/history/etc a number of times, and the problem persists. I am located in Canada.

Also when i was posting this another audio ad hit, for triscuts, but it turned white when it was done playing.
