Just wanted to remind folks to be careful when logging into AARoads. This morning, I got a clickbait ad on AARoads with a simple box saying "Login To Your Account". The ad is posted at both the top and the bottom of the forum (the bottom ad is just above the Non-Roads Board).
This is a Google Ads feed from LoginOnline with a Colombia country code. I'm not sure if Google Ads is sophisticated enough to pump such ads to new websites when a User Login is required, but it sure looks like that is the case here.
I was going to post the website URL here, but the new Bulletin Board format automatically makes the link "hot", so I removed it. I am unable to post the image, but I will send it to a moderator and perhaps they can post it later.
...or use an adblocker...

You could always put it into a 'code' box. That prevents it from going 'hot'.
http://www.google.comOtherwise, I recommend selecting 'forever' when logging in (as long as it's a personal computer) so that this issue could be avoided in the future.
Anyways, I've alerted Alex to this thread.
I saw a similar ad on two other sites, and reported it. (Which means I'll probably see it again in 48 hours.)

Here is the link from Google Ads:

Side note: I appreciate that on this site, "forever" really does mean forever, instead of "randomly expire your session every week or so and make you log in again".
Today's login produced two different episodes on GoogleAds, one of which was aptly named "Find the Fastest Route".
I added
