Anyone else being directed to myspace?

So, on Chrome iOS I went to regular Gaf to change my avatar and it redirected me to MySpace. I got around it by holding the user CP, and change avatar links down and copied them into the address bar. That was after I got redirected.
 
Just had it happen to me on Chrome. If this was intentional it's sad to see MySpace fall to this type of advertising.
 
What if you're on mobile? I'm on chrome on ios. The best I can do is turn on ad block and I guess that's not great since it redirected to MySpace on the desktop site.

Do you type in neogaf.com or m.neogaf.com?
If the former, then see if doing m.neogaf.com stops it
 
Extrange, no ads are allowed to do a redirect.

I didn't get a redirect or MySpace ads, I always browse Gaf without any protection, to be sure the site run smooth.

The servers are ok, don't worry about it. :)

I will pass this to Evilore.
 
Allowed all on no-script and just got directed again. It happened when I immediately clicked on my name in the top right after I logged in.
 
Just happened to me.

I'm on Chrome/Win7, although now that I think back, it may have also happened on my Android phone.
 
For some reason I opened GAF in IE today and was sent to myspace instead.

I usually visit GAF with Chrome or the mobile page on my phone and don't experience this issue.
 
I recleared my cookies and cache with CCleaner, I also Flushed my DNS.

Also while searching I saw this post:

That happened to me a while back -- I kept getting some guy's MySpace page![1] The same sort of thing happened when I tried to get to Facebook, although some other wrong page came up. Rebooting helped, but only for a while.[2] Turned out the problem was with my new Linksys router! I don't know enough to understand or explain what happened, but I had terrible customer service from Linksys ("We are aware of the problem and you'll just have to be patient!") so I returned the router and bought a Netgear router -- problem solved! Good luck.

Could it really be a router problem?
[1]: Sounds like the same problem we are getting and since it's possible the page doesn't exist anymore which with the "404" and "error" in the url makes sense
[2]: And rebooting does help for awhile aswell

I have a netgear router. So yeah...

Edit: I just cleared everything in chrome iOS and went back to neogaf desktop and no redirect to gaf. So, people with this problem should clear everything in there browser settings
 
Got redirected from my parent's computer when I tried to get into Off-Topic Discussion. They've never even been to Myspace. It seemed to be an advertisement ("Check out the new Myspace!"). I think I clicked "skip ad" or something and got redirected to a new tab? Really confusing. Running anti-spyware programs but I find it strange that a lot of us are only getting these redirects from the Neogaf forums.
 
Just got this pop up

I think the Target ad is trying to force pop-ups, or is doing something else odd. I keep seeing a notification that Firefox has blocked one whenever that ad shows.

Edit: Yup, I just hit a page where the Target ad was both the Header and Footer ad, and it had a pop-up blocked. It just did it on this page as well. It's this one:

 
I'm on my tabby android, so far no MySpace, which I like more than Facebook.
