I hate that my first feedback is of a negative nature. Peachyforum has been my hub for years and I still find it the best way to comprehensively search the Internet for the most beautiful, sexy ,and esthetically pleasing images on the web. It's reliable, well maintained and user-friendly. 

Unfortunately, the web is a vile place full of unscrupulous hackers and coders intent on frustrating the majority to get the attention of a few for profit.BADOINK seems to be the biggest culprit. Close to 50% of forum links seem to end up redirecting to other sites. The most frustrating part is that clicking the browser's BACK button sends the user on an endless loop back to badoink. It's getting to the point where it's almost not worth using peachyforum anymore because of this. 

I haven't done a lot of testing or troubleshooting, but wanted to at least make you all aware of the issue because I feel that besides being annoying and irritating, I find it to be a breach of Internet protocol. If it were to be happening in a more widespread or a more accepted area of the web it would surely be outlawed immediately.

I realize the issue may be bigger than the webmasters at peachyforum can deal with and may be more an OS issue, or perhaps browser-related, but please be aware that these fuckers are seriously deterring people from using your site.  Shit. Just find the Badoink server and bomb that shit or something!! Fuck those guys and whomever else is practicing this invasion.

For the sake of further researching this issue I'm using an iPad 2 with OS  6.1.3. My primary browser is Stash Pro, but I've seen the issue in iPad's Safari. 

Thanks guys!

Hi, all feedback is good (even if it's negative). This gave me an idea to check the stats & notice 80% of mobile is from iPad. Now on my summer vacation, I'll definitely check if I could grab somewhere a discount iPad for testing and see if I'd get Stash Pro or similar - but Safari being the main test candidate. The main problem with all forum posts/links is that, as you described, they are hard to test on multiple devices.

you can double tap the back buton, it usually breaks the BADOINK cycle. But you can never view the link, it will be forever linked with BADOINK, unless you look at it on a computer.
