Spammers and "ad-ers" - lol - will stop at nothing.

Yeah,but whoever posted that obviously gets paid on a per click basis via bfast,so thats why they put an extended redirect link.And you've possibly just contributed to their earnings by posting the link here.

And don't forget TZ uses Google AdSense,so are you saying we are spammers? :D

I understand your point,but ultimately nobody is forced to visit the links.It's the responsibilty of the individual user whether they want to click them. ;)

I did not post an active link here. Only the good link is active. :)

My firewall and/or my host file blocks this anyway.
