okay, what the hell? the site disappeared

[wannabe]

and some pop-up ad replaced it.  it displayed for about five seconds with a countdown ("the site will resume in 5 seconds") and when the time ran out the screen went blank.

this is why i stick to GBCNing on my phone.

I would be surprised if Patrick allowed these ads (at my job, however, they think the more the merrier). It could have been coded from one of the other ad positions on the page (third party, not something proboards put up). There is somewhere to report ad violations here, yes?

Either way I wouldn't expect it to happen often unless you keep getting the same ad.
