    ^Anytime I come to this site and stay on the main page for about 2 seconds I get redirected to that site. Normally I can click a "skip this ad" button, but thats not the case with this one.

    Yeah it's breaking the rules, it's been reported, hopefully it should be removed soon.

    It's neither. We hire out to a company called AdBrite, we provide space on our website and they provide the ads from various advertisers and then we share revenue. This means they control the ads they run, but naturally they don't allow ads that take over the entire browser.
