What's with these pop ups lately when visiting Stchat? Has anyone else noticed them?

I'm not getting them at this time...

I do know that Duffman, the kid (yeah, as in 16 year old) who runs the InvisionFree network, sometimes experiments with different ad providers and sometimes he does really stupid things.

Wouldn't surprise me if that was one of his dumb experiments.

Well, if there are ads, you have to put up with them, otherwise you would have to pay to host this site. Its unfortunately out of our control...

Yeah...definitely unfortunate.

Supposedly it is part of InvisionFree's policy to avoid pop-ups and use banners instead, but there have been some slip-ups on Duffman's part (perhaps because of how different advertising companies' policies work).

Gotta correct this, it wasn't invisionfree's fault, I had some spyware on my computer but now I removed it with Ad-aware, great program! :D

Nice! Ad-aware is an awesome program, so is Spybot Search and Destroy!
