This ad is unacceptable and grossly misleading. I'd like it removed entirely or at least prevented from showing up on my hub pages.

Those kinds of ads are everywhere.

You do get though, that this is a site where people that are un-knowing could stumble upon a game, try to download it, end up downloading some sort of odd/malicious file or getting adware, and blame Byond for it.

What the hell does that mean O_o... However it is annoying and very misleading, and Orange has a very good point.

Agreed. This kind of ad is a nuisance and could easily end up confusing newcomers.

You'll need to get the address of the site the ad points to so it can be blocked.

I think it might be bigrebelads.com. I remember spotting that one in a few different places, one version of which was even more misleading than the one posted.
