I think it may be an injected code, I am looking at it right now with adblock plus off.

Let's just all calm down.
What if Regalis decided to add advertisement onto the website in order to pay for web hosting?
It isn't free you know.

While you do have a Point, The way the Adverts seem to be portrayed [ Showing the Thread Title etc. ] does seem pretty suspicious.

Rather than advertising any Product, It's asking the viewer to look for more " Search Terms " and such. Those kinds of Adverts usually involve Websites which tend to install unwanted software or contain any sort of privacy risk.

I suppose we will have to hear about this from Regalis, Really.

This. After releasing v0.7 the traffic on the site increased so much that I had to move to a more expensive hosting service (again).

The ads will look a bit weird for a day or two, because they are some sort "test ads" used by the ad network to determine how much and what kind of traffic a site is getting, and what kind of actual ads should be displayed on the site.

Anyway, if you find the ads too obtrusive, you can always use AdBlock.
