Hey, Jordan, just thought I'd let you know that your site is getting randomly flagged when-- I guess-- certain ads or whatever appear. I thought you might want to check it out in case you need to remove linkbacks or whatever it is that's causing the flags.

Here's the alert

The website at www.gtplanet.net contains elements from the site www.geekologie.com, which appears to host malware – software that can hurt your computer or otherwise operate without your consent. Just visiting a site that contains malware can infect your computer.

and the diagnostic page

What is the current listing status for geekologie.com/2010/09?

Part of this site was listed for suspicious activity 2 time(s) over the past 90 days.

What happened when Google visited this site?
Of the 30 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 7 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2010-09-16, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2010-09-15.

Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware?
Over the past 90 days, geekologie.com/2010/09 did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.

Has this site hosted malware?
No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.

How did this happen?
In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.

I'm not sure if it is related to this issue, but my computer just flagged up a 'warning visiting this site may harm your computer' when trying to access the 'amazing cool video thread'. I tried again a few moments later, and everything was fine. :odd:

Got a screen shot of it now.

It looks like Famine already edited out the picture which was hosted on this domain that Google didn't like, so it should be fixed now. For anyone who's worried, there was never any actual threat or danger to GTP visitors.
 
Ah yes, I did that as a test, then I got distracted (probably by dogs) and forgot to come back and check.

There's a whole load of Geekologie pictures in Funny Pics/Funny GIFs/Funny Movies though and if Google is temporarily blacklisting the domain - as a precaution - this could pop up everywhere.
