on 1/6/16Yes, the site is infected. Plenty of sites run on ads. In fact, all of them do, unless you paid to read them. On no other site have I ever had so many problems with my browser being hijacked. And considering the content of some of the ads I get (which occurs for periods, then stops), it is clear that someone has the power to manipulate them. Who else but a mod or admin?
That's a funny question. Because the site has THOUSANDS of active members who have no problems posting 10s of THOUSANDS of posts per day! Seems to me --- you have some "baggage" and a grudge..
Infected... even AVG warns you upon logging in. Stay away from the site, your info is not safe
I have no idea of the existence of any malware on the site of USMB.
It is common for the ads to somehow connect to spamware of some sort. I've had problems and so have others. But no it's not deliberate. Any serious business like USMB wants to improve their services or else they'd crash. The problem may be with the system for running ads to pay for the site. Free speech isn't free. It causes problems that aren't intended and are just as annoying for the mods and owners. Nobody benefits from spam and spamware, we all suffer when it messes up connections.
Lenny is a USMB troll. The same one who everyone has to block, he's an $#*! kisser to the mods and the mods jump when ordered by this pos.
