We're killing ourselves

Last night I was chatting with an Internet buddy of mine on MSN. He's not a webmater but an avid surfer. I asked him to check out my new design on one of my thumb preview TGPs.

He was clicking around and was sent to one of my trades. From there he was sent to another trade .. which, when he clicked something there he was bombarded with pop-up hell featuring child porn .. it installed a bunch of viruses on his computer.. hijacked his home page with a message about 'you've been surfing child porn .. the FBI are comming .. protect yourself now CLICK HERE!' ..

I feel horrible that this happened comming from my site. I'm pretty strict about who I trade with. My site is rated with the ICRA.. I have a notice about my position on CP and a form to report any illegal sites.. I take this shit VERY seriously .. and I'm horrified that I sent at least one surfer to this crap...

I removed the trade that sent him to the trade and so on .. and told him to report it the ASACP .. but he was up all night formatting his hard drive because of some place that my site sent him ..

Why the fuck are there so many idiots out there who have to do this shit? This is what gives the Internet and the online adult industry a bad name. With shit like this going on it's no wonder Bush and Ashcroft are pursuing pornography so much..
