Extremely Innapropriate Pop-Ups 

Post#1 » by goober » Sun Jan 3, 2016 3:19 pm

Usually I don't care too much about the usual messups and whodads and such of this forum, but I feel like this one is more dangerous than most.

Recently, I've had, on multiple occasions, pornographic material pop up on this website lol. Personally I don't participate in that type of activity, so I don't know how it popped up on my phone.

Spoiler:
the pop up was a girl fingering herself. Quite random actually, gave me an lol


Now, I'm not bringing this up because "I'M SO OFFENDED THERES A NAKED LADY ON MY SCREEN", no I don't care I could just click x and it goes away, I'm bringing this up for the people who enjoy this forum at work, and very well could have their company having Intel on everything that pops up on their computers. This is for them! The true heroes! They could get fired for this madness on their screen!

Has this happened to anyone else? Or is it just me

Some sites use popups geared towards the person viewing. I.E they'll use cookies and history to put up something related. I agree it shouldn't appear but maybe you're watching something you shouldn't be??

Did you have this happen to you on Sunday or just previously? Has it happened again? We turned off all of our advertising except for Google on Saturday evening.

I think it was Saturday but not sure, my memory is flawed when it comes to specific dates.
