Getting redirect messages to "r. skimresources. com"
I just got a couple of messages pop up that told me that this site (various threads here) want to redirect to r.skimresources.com. I always canceled it so I didn't see what happened, but is this something from the site that shouldn't be visible to users, or does it come from outside?

Re: Getting redirect messages to "r. skimresources. com"
According to my uMatrix, this thread is connecting to s.skimresources.com.
EDIT: So is pretty much every thread, including the "User Titles and Post Counts" thread. Not the main page or the main forum page. Not the "edit message" page. Not the profile, settings, or inbox page. Not any of the shop or comics pages. Not the forum rules page. Just the threads.
EDIT 2: Doing a forum search shows that this seems to have been the case since February 2017.
EDIT 3: Ah yes, here we go:
Though uMatrix for some reason seems to have a problem with it.
EDIT 4: Oh wait, I think that's because of the "incredibly small percentage" (i.e. a penny or something) that the website earns when you click on the link. It's basically like doubleclick, except instead of getting money when you click on the ad, money is earned when you click on a link.Last edited by ziproot; 2021-04-07 at 09:48 PM.
