Show that my Grandmother isn't the ONLY one using IE on a regular basis. :D I joke. Maybe they're secretly selling ogaming? And you've stumbled across their plans...You're a dead man!
I bet what you saw was an ad banner that said this site for sale. In another words they are renting out ad space on their site. I just wish that some of these sites the rent out ad space would be more selective of what they allow. I am not epeleptic but I can't stand those flashing ads. I either scroll them off the page or quickly leave and never come back.
A coupld of days ago EQII maps had an extremely annoying clown ad with an annoying chuckle. Turned that one off in a hurry. Do they really think people are going to think it's so cute and follow it to a site and buy from them???
That has happened to hadstock.com a few times. There probably was a glitch where the owner of the domain name, put it up for sale again. And when found out, it got fixed, that is why it works again.
