As far as I can remember "thepiratebay.com" had a similar problem , and I do think that Imageshack also had a similar problem in the past..........This problem dosen't come from the site itself but from the advertise that they host....Nevertheless you ,as a site ,should always pay attention on what's going on in your garden.

Anyway I've stoped using imageshack beacuse they site is slow and now it requires to be a member to get the "Direct Link".... using min.us ...much better
