Going to Freakenstein's page and page 70 in Tacky's thread in the AMW is redirecting me to a shock site. I asked several people and it's happening to them as well. On Firefox it prevents you from being redirected, but if you're using other browsers they may not prevent it.

What's going on?

Thaboss isn't having any redirects. He's on Chrome Canary. He's probably very lucky...

I have only had the problem twice... McAfee siteadvisor blocked the sites, so no worries. Any ideas on the cause?

Users tampering with HTML.

It isn't "users". It's a user, and it's one we all love to hate. Pissums. It freaked me out when I decided one day to check my profile and BAM a shock site. I went on CT to see wtf was going on, and yeah. There's a name for him.
I don't know FOR SURE if it was only him, but he's the only one I can see doing something like this. T_T

Shock is right. It was a shock for me and im an adult. Then i had a real worring tought, got a neighbour in the flat above me that plays armor games and he is 9 years old, i can handle the shock, but a mind as young as that? Thinking about it, it seems to me it is not funny, just plain mean, and possibly damageing. Maybe whoever did this tought it was a joke, but him going to a shrink for years if he gets on a shock site seems like malice to me.

Could that be a virus? Because it seems to be happening to John's profile too.

It has been determined that the redirects were user comments that used HTML to redirect to a site. Also, the problem appears to be fixed for the most part, and there are solutions if it's still going. Also, my profile never got redirected, but there is now music on my profile.

Its not Pissums or whatever. It's drunkonluck4. First of all, if you go to the affected peoples profiles and are able to stop the redirect, you see an apparently blank comment made by him, which most likely causes the redirect. Thaboss thinks he knows how to get proof that it is him, and get him banned.

Also, thaboss saw a comment by drunkonluck4 replying to a guy who asked him how to stop it. He said look, i like you, just turn off your comments. Or something like that..

Wait. Has anyone sent an email to Justin? Thaboss just did, he hopes he's not one of many flooding his inbox..

The way to stop it from redirecting is to just click the x to stop the page from loading completely! Just like GhostOfMatrix said..
