    Recently, when I try to access the forums on my phone, I receive an unavoidable popup from "luckytickets.org" that forces a redirect to their website. The only way I can get around it is to manually stop the page loading before the popup comes up. Anyone else encounter this or am I just visiting too many sketchy p*rn sites on my phone?

    Something similar happens to me too.My mobile occasionally directs me to another site when i click on a thread title .These sites are all voices(??) and a bbq site.nothing on p*rn anyway.

    To be fair some of the ads (when using laptop to browse) are good,
    i found out some air tickets discounts after i miss the promo brochure.

    "Pop up" adds on phone?

    For the last week or so I've occasionaly been getting pop up ads on the site.from 'mobileoffers.org'. A dialog box will pop up with some pitch on a free phone. When you click 'OK' to get rid of the box, my browser is redirected to an outside site. This only occurs when using my phone.

    Once I find a thread where it occurs, every time I try to get back in the thread, it will occur again in the short term, which makes me think it is a google adsense issue.

    Anybody else getting these?

    I had been getting some a few weeks back, too! I didn't know what to do, except that I certainly didn't want to click "OKAY" or "ACCEPT" or whatever it says on the popup. I only use my PC to come here now.

    I've finally seen this also ... I see many, many sites are running into this also. I'm going to try to find where it's coming from. In the meantime, if you're experiencing it, you can switch to the mobile style. Just scroll to the bottom and select the "ClutchFans Mobile (Beta)" style.
