It's actually a 404 page, located at spaceports.com (Did Spaceports buy CJB or something? I'm slow).

If you don't see it, try some oddball CJB subdomains so you get a 404 page.

I do believe and I could be wrong, but I think that spaceports and CJB have been in bed from the get go. Also redirection.net is part of tera-byte which owns spaceports and who know cjb might be tera-byte

no no no, not some oddball domains that go to the 404---------- page. subdomains that work. if you don't know of any off jand try using the name of a city or something, there are so many cjb users that there's no doubt they have to exhist.

koolguy seems to see it, it asks me to make my homepage chat----------, then opens up a full screen window with a 468 x 60 ad [in other words, not a full-screen ad, just full-screen pop-up]. i don't really care, just found it kinda weird.

maybe i made the title a little too harsh sounding...

I went to a few CJB subdomains that work, and they..work. It's only the 404 pages that popup a full screen, asks me to set CJB as the homepage, and starts up a IRC chat.

I noticed the popup thing the other day except I had no idea it was coming from CJB until I saw the chat screen...

I got the pop-up I can't remember when though :(

It asked if I wanted to make chat---------- my homepage... I replied 'no' and it continued to load.

It was full screen and had a 'Windows like' menubar with a 'minimize, maximize and close' button set in the top right. I clicked it and was rudley taken to clickheretofind.com (maybe allclicks? :()

Amazingly I had to use ALT + F4 on --------, that's just sad, even if it is a 404 error.

They must really need money!
