Also the pop ups and ads with viruses don't help at all. Even if the problem is now claimed to be solved, there is no way I will ever visit this site in future without noscript and adblock fully enabled. |
Actually, you only need noscript installed, but disabled to prevent viruses from being downloaded. The attacks are run by Cross Site Scripts (XSS) which no-script stops even when allowing scripts globally.
Anyways, the site has definitely grown since last year. It wasn't even that long ago, that VGChartz only averaged 100-150 members online at any one time. Now it is 300 most of the time.
