WTF is this ? No srsly.... this is a hijacking? Yes?

Over at the http://mahalo.30.forumer.com/ Adam Carolla Message boards, they seem to have been hijacked over to this ARGHOSTING / "tinypaste" site with a CAPTCHA and survey / phishing crap. D: :'(

Do I have that right or is this legit means of revenue for said boards owner? Seems like a scam to me, that sense that puts my hand to weapon is ringing, let me go answer it.....

Anyone? Buhler?

I lost my secret decoder ring so I have no idea what you are talking about. I do know I ain't clicking on a link to a site you suggest is hijacked.

I figured some l33t hax0r would set me straight here, although I do appreciate your skepticism. I filled out the CAPTCHA and when it went to another level of information gathering I closed and re-started the browser and started looking up what just happened.
It seems as if there is some sort of JAVA script running on the page somehow, as I have found some ref: on the web regarding this bug.

Research is fun.

Apparently Forumer had(has) an exploit where some of their 3rd party Ad servers were compromised and able to serve some viewers with a script-laden page that would re-direct you to the "survey" pages. All malware-esque.
This wasn't Adam Carolla related, just related to the bogus ad providers.
I gues CHROME and FIREFOX users didn't see it (running AdBlock)
