I have encountered a fake ad on this site.
It automatically appeared in front of me and it said I won a free iPad.
Fake ads usually activate Ransomware, where you have to pay money to get control of your device. But be aware of Trojans, Wyrms, and Viruses.
I know alot about this subject as I took it upon myself to research how to stay safe online from things like this.
If you encounter a fake ad, do not click or tap on it. Either go back or close your browser. It will go away, it won't affect your device unless you open the ad.
It could be simple Scareware but don't bet on it. Stay safe.

Most want you to pay money, last I have checked. I'd avoid anything that wants you to download '.zip' files. Those are usually Trojans.

It might be time to turn ads off of this forum. I keep seeing hentai ads and I am trying to unsee all of them.

all i mostly get is ads saying " bla bla bla black friday sale " or some random company sayin " wanna start an * insert thing here * " on the top of TGIP, and the pop up ads, but they're easy to back out of. the closest thing i got to a hentai ad was an ad for an anime roleplaying site with a horribly skewed anime character's face on it.

"Like underage girls being ravaged by tentacles?
Like old men raping girls?
How about gay sex? Stick to Stick? Taco to Taco?
Well then Jarod Fogle's Child Porn Hentai is for you!"
I made that up, but I got one that is about a guy who likes to have sex with fat girls. And two gay neighbors that aren't as funny as the 'Modern Family' Gay Neighbors.

Who even came up with the idea for octopuses being rapists?

Joking, Japanese men are the weirdest people. Yes that is racist but it is also true. So IDGAF!
