What happens if you click the link to Pride of Nations on this Google search page?

I clicked on the main link (AGEOD Forum instead of sub-forum Pride of Nations), and you're correct. It was redirected to a weird page: filestore72.info I tried again and it was working. And I have just tried 10 seconds ago and yes, same weird page again.

Status: offline 		Are you sure that isn't intentional? Perhaps you should select forum button, then use the tabs below to select the correct forum, then click a tiny button on the left to go to the forum. Don't forget to end turn. Ok, I am kidding and making a joke about their interfaces.

I too have experienced the issue once. But now it seems to be OK.
I have alerted the web admins again.
Thanks. :)

I would try a different browser (Chrome, IE, etc.)

Status: offline 		I had one weird mis-direct logging into the Ageod forum yesterday using Firefox, though it was logging in from a google search based on a specific topic I was looking for. Otherwise have been able to access it without any trouble.

If I use IE then I am not prevented from being redirected and then I get malware from the malicious page.

Try Chrome, it's a great, simple browser. Also, get and install Malwarebytes.
