There are plenty of websites who use ads. Youtube, Google, even your local online newspapers have tons of ads. THEY JUST DON'T HAVE REDIRECT WITHOUT USER CLICKING ANYTHING. That behavior is spammy. Only shady websites do that. | ||

Most often it's not the website but the ad network used on the site. The ads are considered 3rd party, I have no control over what they insert, the most I can do is remove them. But usually you just designate a place on your website, and link to the site or code the ad provider gives you. What it does or what happens from there on, it's up to the ad service. | ||

Yeah, sometime it's out of control from the developer, I've had the same issue on tl.net a few times too. Pretty rare, but it did happen before. | ||

OK then I guess my request is please locate the rogue ad component and remove it. For the average Joe this is impossible, but I imagine for somebody built up that entire website yourself, it should be easy. Just paste the code they gave you into ChatGPT and it will check for you! And you should test the end-result changing some variables (like country IP using VPN, or logged in vs. not logged in). If worse comes to worse, change ad provider?? There are a ton you can use. FYI: The majority of proper websites out there don't have this issue, and yours does. So clearly, something is off about your website, and it can be fixed. | ||

FYI: The majority of proper websites out there don't have this issue, and yours does. So clearly, something is off about your website, and it can be fixed. It's not that simple. What I get is basically just a URL which I have to insert into my site. I can check what it returns of course, but the response is changing from time-to-time and based on who views it and from where, so I don't get the same response as you. Of course I checked it before putting online, but it works for me and I don't experience what some of you do, even though I don't use any ad blockers. Yes, many websites don't have this issue because most use the trustworthy Google Ads, and I'd be glad to use that too, but my site doesn't meet their requirements (other sites such as TL.net has user generated content, and my site has mostly auto-generated content from replays). So I had to revert to other, lesser known and trusted ad services, and this is the result of that. I've tried multiple ones, others were even worse. If you have a suggestion, I'm all ears. All in all, as written above, I've removed all ads from the site until I find a suitable replacement. | ||

Dakota_Fanning just explained why we get these agressive ads without adblocker. Only solution would be to complete remove ads from the site (since he cant use any less-agressive-Ad-services). But i guess this is no option, only if more people are willing to donate regulary. | ||

I just made a big update to the site (surprise new stats), and for that and to correct previous calculation failures, I'm recalculating ALL stats. This takes too long (damn, processing close to 100M reps is an enormous task), and meanwhile it might give a false illusion that the site has no info about players and maps, so I decided to put it in maintenance until most of the recalculation is done. I can't tell the exact duration, maybe 1 day until I let users in again, most likely tomorrow morning (full recalc will likely take longer than that). | ||

🌐Battle.net Account profiles and stats🌐 Stats are now gathered for Battle.net Accounts, you can list and search them on the 🌐Bnet Accounts page. Each Battle.net Account has its own profile page which shows stats aggregated from all Blizzard ladder games played with any of the in-game StarCraft profiles linked to the account. Battle.net Account profile pages also list all in-game StarCraft profiles linked to the account, and their individual stats. You can list and search all (ladder) games of a Battle.net Account (played under any name) or of an in-game StarCraft profile (which will be filtered to the specific profile and exclude games from other profiles using the same name). Note: 🌐Battle.net Account profile stats are calculated from games where matchmaking info is available (which is not stored in replays). Also see FAQ entries: What is the difference between 👨Player profiles and 🌐Battle.net Account profiles? and What are Aurora ID, Profile Key and BattleTag? Added a new Matchmaking Battle.net account stats section to player profiles, showing all Battle.net Account profiles that used the player name of the player profile in Blizzard ladder games. You can directly jump to the Battle.net Account profile pages from there. The Players tab of the Game details page now shows the BattleTag of the players (random suffix number stripped), the Battle.net Account profiles' Aurora ID with a link to the 🌐Battle.net Account profile page, and also the Profile Key of the used in-game StarCraft profile. The ∑Stats page now also shows the number of Active Battle.net Ladder Accounts for every year next to the number of active players. Battle.net Accounts is also added to the Game Spectrum Stats table of the ∑Stats page. Changed the format of event profile URLs! Event IDs have been moved to URL query parameters (instead of being path segments). For example, instead of /event/1 you now have to use /event?id=1. Old URLs will still work and redirect to the new ones, but it's recommended to update your bookmarks and links to the new format. Date range filters ("To" and "From") are now allowed when listing games for a map hash. Other minor changes and improvements. View the complete and up-to-date list on the 📰News page. | ||
