What the heck is Ad Fly?
I wanted to look at the video forum on RCU and everytime i click on a link for a video I get redirected to something called AD FLY. Whats this nonsense? Is Rcu getting hacked?

RE: What the heck is Ad Fly?
AdF.ly is a URL-shortener website that some people use to avoid those huge involved web addresses. The people who use it get paid a certain amount every time someone clicks on one of their links, because as you found they get to view a bunch of ads before they can then proceed to download or stream the content they wanted.
Personally, I would favour a large-scale airstrike against whoever runs this website, but that's just me.[:-]
I don't think RCU is doing this (I may be wrong). It is probably that all the content you chose to see had been linked using an AdF.ly-shortened URL.
