Subject says it all. Hope this isn't a trend.

well it happened to me in the Wincustomize Browzer and IE (no pop up blocking for either. It didn't happen with Crazy Browser (pop up blocking enabled). I search my entire registry for gamespot.com and it wasn't there. So I don't know where it came from, but

Using the Wincusto Browser, click on the 'home' button. Doesn't happen?

We're experimenting with in-house pop-up promotion that comes up randomly for users who are not logged in.
If you logon, it'll go away.

Okay it happened to me this morning when I came to the homepage. This is the first time it's happened. I wasn't logged in yet, but I don't know if that would have anything to do with it.
I have never experienced this before on this site, what's happening?

As Frogboy said in post #8, they're experimenting with an in-house pop-up promotion that comes up randomly for users who are not logged in. Nothing to worry about.
