I just got a malware scanner ad. It's different from the performance optimizer ad that I've seen before, but it still redirected my browser.

Edit: And that's "just" as in "a minute ago".

I have not seen any of these ads ever under Linux. This is one of the many reasons I use Linux.

Which distro do you use? I use Gentoo.

There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

Ah, heck. Got it literally a minute ago... it's 7:44 pm Central US Time. Had to restart browser - I'm running the SeaMonkey suite.

I haven't gotten any today or yesterday. Had it lots of times before.

Edit:

I meant the one kuraobi had. I'm also on Mac. ioi's last statement leaves me confused as to what kind of ads he thinks are fair. I certainly don't think any popups are fair... vgchartz should not undermine its credibility like that.

Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.

I got one last night around 10 pm. It's so lame. Still, I love the site.
