When I was viewing a thread, suddenly the page turns white and it says " Feralheart is provided by VIDEO FLASH PLAYER UPDATE. "
It just... completely changed the page right there. o _ o

I'm pretty sure one of those adds gave me a virus. Cause I got hit with one not soon after it popped up. It was partailly my own fault cause I hadn't updated my firewall in months but still. Luckily my dads a computer tech and fixed my computer quickly o3o

Those kind of ads are simply JavaScript, most cannot give you any viruses, so I doubt it was the website viruses. However, if it was a advertisement from this site, than that is a very poor move on the admins part to just allow any ad on the sites.

i recently started getting like, a gajillion ads on this site. Normally, i only get those little banners at the bottom of each page. I think it's the new chat, its probably supported by ads.

I don't think you understand how the ads work. They taget key words on a page and create ad links. FH didn't put an ad in your sig, the site targets text when you load a page.

It's not the chat, the ads were here before that. The ads are to help pay for the site and keep it free.

Most of these ads are based off of your recent browsing history.....
