I'm on IE 7 (don't ask), so perhaps the ad is the site's way of telling me "F U"? Edit: Screenshot - http://i.imgur.com/5lnJ7.jpg
Your computer probably has malware. Run ComboFix and that should fix the issue. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix
I'm on a highly secured military network. While it's not impossible that there's malware on my computer, I think it's more likely that something's up with the website.
Edit: There's no choice of browsers on this network. It's IE 7 or nothing.
Re: I Wasn't Paid
#43While I sometimes wish something like this existed, it seems ripe for abuse and/or open to some sort of libel law violation should it get out of control.
Isn't it already explicitly illegal to post lists of customers who haven't paid in your store? IANAL, but I seem to remember that the case law is already pretty settled on this one.
illegal where? Perhaps in some juridictions - which one are you referring to?
Re: I Wasn't Paid
#44Not the best route to handle this. Make sure you have a decent lawyer on hand (and a good contrct) when dealing with delinquent clients. Something like this will guarantee that you'll never get paid.
At what point does it make sense to involve a lawyer? $5,000? $10,000? Isn't it expensive to legally fight for your payment?
Use a collection agency, if you can.

The difference will be whether its stated as factual and is factual or stated as opinion..
As I understand it if its factual stated and grossly wrong the poster can be charged civilly

IT seems your site is hacked:

Re: I Wasn't Paid
#47Ultimately it's your fault as a contractor if you don't get paid. And a site like this does nothing to teach developers, freelances, designers, and the like how to avoid these pitfalls which is why I'll never use it. Why is it your fault? Because as a professional you've not taken the time/money to have a contract created to cover your ass. Contracts exist to protect both parties from each other. And it is your profe…
The stories I read on the site mentioned contracts, and people still refused to pay, causing the contractors to have to go to court, get a ruling in their favor, and then get the sheriff to go and collect - and that's assuming they have any money or assets left to collect.

#48What if this happens: I work with a difficult dev/designer for a couple of months trying to bootstap a product. In the end it's not working, we agree to go our own ways, but I keep the name of the product. For what ever reason they get shitty with me, and a month or two down the line when I'm working with someone else they post about me on 'iwasntpaid' - not just once, loads of times - they know a lot about me so the…
FYI: http://youthoughtwewouldntnotice.com/blog3 leads to a giant ad for some Canadian pill site.
Yep, seems to be compromised there:

May I suggest that you refrain from surfing the Internet using IE7 while on a secured military network.
