The website is using advertisers who use scripting exploits to install malicious spyware and trojans on your computer without ever receiving a prompt.

According to http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/ ... hp?id=1173,
The spyware installs 7 new proccess on your computer, seriously reducing performace.

I really don't think the traffic this shard receives from that site or worth the risk to it's players. Not to mention we are basically giving money to a site that insidiously installs malware, everytime a visitor is directed towards them.

I agree it should be removed as well. I never used it to vote because you have to write in like 2 ridiculous words to prove that you're not a bot or whatever. I say remove it!

I agree. While I've had many many people tell be they found us though GameSites200, this is a serious problem. I'll remove them as soon as possible, which should be tommorrow morning.

Thanks!

This is a bad idea imo, im not understanding all your claims...but I'm willing to bet over 50% of the people here are from that one voting site.
