With respect that's not my experience of Imagetwist nor the experience of other moderators here. We're not making this stuff up because it's fun to be awkward and we feel like having a bitch. We bang on about it because most of these ads cause AV, firewall, anti-spyware and malware software to light up like Christmas trees and the pages wont load unless every piece of protection software is disabled. Clicking "continue to image" or whatever does NOTHING. With all due respect accessing any host site without even basic protection software running is like riding bareback in a Bangkok brothel. Again, with respect, fuck that for a laugh.
If as you say you have no deal with Imagetwist then for heaven's sake dump them as a host. There are other pay hosts available that are nowhere near as agressive that people can migrate to. I know for a fact that none of the moderators int he picture section would be anything but happy to see the back of them.
I swear to Christ, every time I hit a post that has such aggressive adware it simply won't load without me disabling my AV and firewall, i'm clearing it.
