Evil, very evil.

{squints} I tried to infect this one with the cold we've got that is laying our household low, before batting it into the stratosphere with the PRoD, only to find that it is, and has been on the block list for a while, at least the version with a Z at the end. ... Odd.

The thing is that the site was already blocked when I went to block it, and AdSense showed that the last login had been mine a day before when I tackled the others (not it). So it's been blocked for a while now ... and somehow it is circumventing that. Now the fun part will be figuring out how.

Bleargh.

edit: paged back a bit and found that I blocked this one in October. So they're routing through somewhere else, somehow, not going directly to the link above. Going to need to find that referral info, or if they're using a q instead of a g or something silly like that then redirecting.

AAAAAAAUUGGGGGHHHHHH

Trade4game is blocked, but it still may be a couple hours before the google ad server gets them properly filtered.

Hate these folks for how intrusive they've been in-game (despite many, many, many bannings, they seem to have way too many accounts and just flip from one to another to another as we report them in and get them canned)

{twitch} Not the most auspicious start to the year to see their banner ad up there, but it won't last much longer.

It seems to be taking almost a day, now, for ads to be properly blocked out. {mumble} Gotta love lag due to billing year changes, etc. :O

Another one:

www.FreeGameCam.com/store

This one's particularily nasty. Not only does it offer the usual litany of EverQuest platinum, items, and accounts for sale, but clicking on one of these offerings promptly redirects you to IGE's website. In other words, it appears as though this website is nothing more than a shell for that vile company. If that doesn't make it evil....

Another one of those fake search engine sites that's loaded with advertisements selling game currency, items, and accounts.

[Maevenniia]

Just a tip folks, sometimes these sites are tricky, and the FULL shortcut is more helpful for blocking purposes.

so...

1. right click on the ad's link and select "Copy Shortcut" from the mini menu
2. paste in this thread
3. BEFORE YOU CLICK ON SUBMIT REPLY, scroll down just a bit to "Miscellaneous Options", and UNCHECK "Automatically parse links in text".
4. Click "Submit Reply".

[Niami DenMother]

Another year, another wave of troublesome ads. In theory, these are smooshed. We'll have to wait another day to be sure.

Looks like a macroquest-based sort of thing.

Looks like a macroquest-based sort of thing.

afaik it has nothing to do with MQ.

edit: from EQPixie's FAQ

Q. Does EQ Pixie violate the EverQuest End User License Agreement (EULA)?

A. No. EQ Pixie does not access EQ memory or intercept any EQ communications. It does not "modify the Software [EverQuest] to change Game play." It does not provide macros or scripting. Don't let that fool you; it's still very powerful. EQ Pixie primarily works by using features that were built into EQ for users to access, but which few can make use of because you need various computer skills or time to do so. For further information see the EverQuest End User License Agreement, particularly section 9.
