Gentlemen,
I have explained this before but it has been a while so I will do it again. Rick sells ad space, the content of which is programmed by the buyers. Some of them don’t play nice, they embed Javascript redirects and/or window pop-up commands. To prove it, go into the settings of your browser of choice and disable Javascript. The problem with doing this is you will be in “read only” mode. You won’t be able to login to post, see PMs, etc.
The solution is to get your browser to stop responding to any of these redirects, while still allowing Javascript to work for this site. For 99% of users this means installing some sort of ad blocker program.
Or simply download the Opera browser and use it for ad free internet. Also has a built in VPN for when you want it. It's become my favorite browser.
All that being said, the advertisers are getting better at getting around the ad blockers.
