Any links that redirect to illegal sites or content should be reported immediately. I think maybe the problem is your location. Many countries in your part of the world are not allowed access. Its not right, but we dont make the rules. Your country could be denied access by some sites and so redirects come into force. Thats what makes our job sometimes difficult. If we dont see it, we are unanware.
I had reports from a member in Saudi that had similar problems. Use a proxy. http://www.fatsosplace.com/viewtopic.php?t=896 This may alleviate the problem.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention

It may also be that they see the originating site (this one) and redirect. Cutting-and-pasting may alleviate this.

If you're using firefox as your browser, there is a site full of handy tools that you can bolt on to the browser for free.
go along to http://www.squarefree.com/pornzilla/ , and have a look arround. somethings you can install just by clicking on them, others you need to drag to your bookmarks toolbar (located directly under the address bar).

one of the links under the Bookmarklets area has a "remove redirects" button that (to use) you need to drag over to your bookmark toolbar. this aparently removes all dead links, and redirect links from any site you are on, and only leaves you with the links that actually go somewhere.

also in complete agreement with everything else that has been said.

I didn't know that. Nice one Inquisitor

Thanks

Indeed, thanks! Forgot to mention that I use Firefox, so, as the saying goes, "your results may vary".
