i haven't seen anything like that, sounds like the issue may be at your end.

Definitely not my end as this only happens on this site and has only been happening for about a week
my antivirus blocks the site loading and tells me it's a fake tech support website 295

Definitely not the site, if a redirection was in place all users would experience issues.

To date nobody has indicated anything untoward.

Look at your AV solution, has something triggered it from the site, any upgrades etc.

Pretty sure this has come up before and was the users end ie malware of some description.

What ever you do don't click through or you will probably find yourself locked out of your computer and hostage to a blackmail attempt to extract money from you to decrypt your files. Run a good malware detector/anti virus program.

Have disabled the link so no one accidentally gets something they don't want.

When it happens i have not clicked on anything all i have done is open the justcommodores website from my favorites menu click on the new posts button and it just randomly changes the web page to the one i linked or one like it.
My av doesn't allow the page to open if it was my end it would happen on every site i go to and it would happen every time i come here but that is not the case it is a very rare occurrence as it has happened twice on here in the last week and i am on here at least 6 or more times a day i just never sign in unless i have something to post.

@immortality sorry about that i should have placed a space in the address to render it inactive

Just thought of something i doubt it will be my end unless it is some bullshit to do with windows 10 because i upgraded to that 2 months ago

That was the whole point of my warning even if nobody else comes across it i would rather put it out there and have everyone aware and not have somebody else maybe without my level of AV getting caught because i have no idea where that link goes to
