I'm not sure if we should be proud or ashamed for finding a connection between a nekkid people site and Tolkien this quickly. Either way, I'm amused.

I just had something similar happen to me when I tried to log in.

I blame Nerwen! This has to be somehow related to the spambot werewolf game she is running!

And in a situation like that, amusement is a good reaction. Some things you just have to laugh at.

It is a funny coincidence, now you mention it.

Perhaps, Kuru, you should take it as a sign you should join in the WW madness.

I got sent to a filter on grounds of pornography yesterday and was a little surprised but wondered if it was oversensitive to a description of the film on the desolation thread.

I haven't had it happen today. Hopefully it was just a fluke.

Funny, I thought this was a dating site.

I was redirected to a different page when I tried to see the new posts for the day, but as I recall it had something to do with buses. It was a couple of days ago and hasn't happened since.

Blimey!

I haven't experienced this particular peculiarity. Continue to post as much detailed information as possible if there are more occurrences. What links were you clicking when you were redirected? Is this happening to you with sites other than the Downs? Were you using a Windows product, an Apple, a phone, something else?

To be on the safe side, I'd suggest that anyone who's experienced a redirect should run virus and/or spam scans -- there's a chance that the problem is on your computer rather than the site.

Right now the best thing is simply to gather as much information as possible.

Well then. It's just happened to me again. At least I know it's not my computer, which is a comfort. Blasted technology, right?

I use Chrome on both of my Windows 7 machines, and both times I was redirected, it was from clicking on a different topic (Paper Telephone and something in the Announcements section).
