Some of the ads displayed on the site seem really fishy to me. I sometimes get ads stating that my computer is running slow, or that I should download the latest drivers... Sometimes they are translated into the local language in such an unprofessional way that even Google Translate would probably do a better job. It's the same kind of "translations" typically found in scam mail.
Furthermore, I once again visited the site from my smartphone. I shouldn't have done that! This time I got a pop-up stating that my phone was infected. The web address was something completely different, but it happened when I entered Floatertalk, so I believe it is related. Even though I didn't accept anything, I was transferred to some kind of fake download section. I don't even want to think about what would happen if there's some kind of security hole present in the browser...
Legitimate ads is one thing, but I don't find this acceptable. Nobody should have to be concerned about having their computers or phones infected by visiting the forum. Should no other solution be found, I hope that the administrators consider moving the forum to another hosting platform.
