I keep getting this burst.js &#106avascript asking me if I want to download it everytime I arrive on Gamedev homepage. Anyone knows what the heck that is ? Seems to be something to do with advertisement from what I read in the script. Is that from Gamedev themselves or from the ad banners ? really annoying...

Sounds like spyware to me.

Use mozilla.

It''s an adware of some sort, what I dont understand is why the Staff (Dave ? are you reading this ?) would let something like that happen.

A browser hijacker may run that on a custom stylesheet; it probably has nothing to do with GDNet.
Use some good adware scanner to get rid of that.
