    It's an ad.

    More specifically, an ad for Ancestry.com.

    Even more specifically, an ad that is shown to you while the page you requested is loading in the background.

    Most specifically, it's telling you to get PLUS

            its a source of revenue, which you wont see if you do plus, an alternative source of revenue.

            Kewl with me, if slightly annoying.

                    That is an ad independant of the referal page, I hope you realise.


                    It sometimes comes up just when entereing a thread, or sometimes you have to "skip this ad" twice to use a link, after the referal brings up this ad.

                      So have you been performing secret experiments on some of us? Or just all of us non-Plussers? Either way, you've snuck in extra ads on us without letting us know!
