Nazo   10 #25 Posted December 18, 2008 The term "dodgy" was just quicker to use. And highly imprecise. Most people would think a "dodgy website" to be a porn website or some such. Not a perfectly legit one that's been a victim of hacking or unlucky enough to get served a bad ad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Captain_Scarlet   10 #27 Posted December 19, 2008 That's true but by definition once the said site has allowed these types of adverts on their site then that site can be called "dodgy".So SF is dodgy because there are loads of ads, including Google ads?

Kingmaker2 Â Â 10 #28 Posted December 19, 2008 So SF is dodgy because there are loads of ads, including Google ads? Â Read my original post 18, I meant "dodgy" as in any site that caused you a "drive by" infection, I.e one that you don't have to click anything on. Â If SF did have adverts that caused "drive by" infections, then yes that would be termed a "dodgy" site in the context that I used it.

dosxuk   10 #29 Posted December 19, 2008 But SF could be served an ad which caused a "drive by" infection, which would, no doubt, be acted upon promptly by the mods / site admin as soon as it was noticed. Nevertheless, it is susceptible (sp?) to being the source of malware due to it hosting external content on it's pages that it has no pre-emptive control over.
