What is the purpose of such an attack?
Interest in the content through the number of views or a potential threat to users?

Thanks MareroQ.
I don't know what can be done about this?
I'll bring this to Omega's attention.

RS Gold is from the game RuneScape.

They are probably including online forums into their games.

I don't think it's malicious, just stupid

I use Privoxy so I don't even see the banner when I visit GIMPChat. Since I'm browsing in XP and Sandboxy, I have to use such programs to protect my ancient (and preferred) OS. Do browse in Win11 proper as well, but currently I'm doing so in XP (VM).
