Ok, I asume I'm not the only one who has seen the "Hi we are google and we want to give you $1000 or an iPhone" ad. It appears on IOS mobile (maybe elsewhere, I wouldn't know) and at least for me it makes the web site unusable, and overwrites my previous page. It normally happens on forum pages but once it happened on home page. It pops up in the middle of the page and no matter what you do it almost immediately sends you to another website that is clearly a scam. I have been a user and deck builder for this webisite for a wile now and up until now I was ok with it happening occasionally. But at this point every time I go into the forums on my iPhone it immediately redirects me to the scam and frankly I am extremely angry. Its one thing to have a website you like let other people try to take your money, but its even more insulting if I also can't use the site itself! I am writing this on my computer now, where the problem doesn't occur.
This is a serious problem and I am highly considering stopping using the site. I love it's format and polish but if the site is just going to mess with me I'm not dealing with that.
UPDATE: Hearthpwn staff have responded in the feed and I recommend reading their posts. They seem very understanding of the issue and I thank them for taking it seriously. Hope this gets resolved soon, but I'm glad about their response regardless. Problems like these happen but they only do real harm when not dealt with. Thanks Hearthpwn!
Same here. I made a forum last night after 10 attempts because his shit. Same exact site and problem. I won’t be using the site as much because this scan makes it too infuriating. Once in a while is ok. But I can’t go 1 minutes anymore wo it popping up again and again.
Yeah it's annoying as fuck, moreso that it actually overwrites your page trough some internet magic or something so you can't even go back to where you were.
I appreciate this very much. There have been different adds in the past with similar issues, but this most recent one has been the most troublesome and rage inducing. I appreciate that the Hearthpwn staff is taking this seriously. Thank you very much.

If you ever encounter bad ads, please let us know! The only way we can get rid of frustrating ads is with everyone letting us know they're out there. These are all the things we consider bad ads:
Firearms / Weapons
Adult / Adult (Porn)
Alcohol
Suggestive (sexually provocative)
Pop-up
Gold selling, or anything related to it
Excessive flashing
Warning (e.g. ad that appears to be a warning window from your computer)
Uninitiated audio (audio starts playing without user enabling/hovering)
Pop-under (pop-up window that appears behind current window)
Floating (e.g. elements in ad float above page’s content. Disable by clicking a sometimes difficult-to-see x/close button)

Never thought I would have a chance to quote Fluxflashor with reason, even less so be quoted by him! I'm humbled that my angry (if reasonable) rant was taken so seriously. And thanks for the wonderful website man. Been using it long before I got an account.

Just for fun I just logged into hearthpwn again on my phone wile writing this. Within 10 seconds in a forum I was redirected here (http://adv.dsptracking.com/warning/E0ud4SGIm7f6D1lzios/e12ZJqd0HTM.html?u09h=xWQOMu6t5AtlcMOCWwz0qvRIZEW).

Ever heard of a little thing called adblock ?
Yeah it's annoying as fuck, moreso that it actually overwrites your page trough some internet magic or something so you can't even go back to where you were.
I have experience it in the past, it is annoying as fuck!
Hearthpwn is not to blame imho but they should be faster at blocking that kind of ad.
I use iOS as well.
Does uBlock work on iOS?

This sounds like the same issue than in this thread: http://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/off-topic/site-feedback-support/210961-site-rendered-unusable-on-mobile-by-parasitic-ads. Aggressive ads are definitely not intended and they will be removed once Flux & co get enough information about them. Sorry for the trouble, let's hope that the issue gets fixed soon!
Thanks for the report, these are hitting a lot of sites right now ,and we are working with ad partners attempting to block them all.
