So, I tried to go to this link from My Threads (https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/807452/Marker-Kingpin-). Briefly loaded the thread, then sent me to this website, which made hella dialogs and I had to force quit Chrome to get out of it. Is that on my computer, or somehow on NS's end?

Can confirm this is still happening to me too.

It usually happens when I open newschoolers for the first time in a day/ first time in several hours.

Are these the correct IPs and name servers? DNS hijacking is becoming a more common way to do this kind of thing. Info article on it too http://dyn.com/blog/dns-101-explaining-how-hijacks-can-happen/

If you were adding more, then I apologize. This is what I stole from your comments earlier.

Yes, those are the correct DNS servers for Newschoolers.com. (I know the message got cut off but Mr.Bishop forwarded me a copy of what you gave him).

The issue seems to be that users are being redirected from an NS page immediately after it loads. A DNS hijack wouldn't cause this, unless it was redirecting visitors to a proxy server that served our page with injected JS, which I think is unlikely. DNS hijacking would usually result in NS being completely unavailable for users affected by the malicious DNS responses. As far as we know, this isn't what users are experiencing.

If they are doing it smartly, they will know they will get more hits long term from leaving the page working 90% of the time and only redirecting occasionally instead of wholesale redirecting all traffic all the time. You cannot use the whois to verify as they are both pulling from the same location. The system admin would know the proper servers though.

Anyway if you've already ruled out a DNS hijack them it would have to be a serverside issue. I can only help troubleshoot DNS =P

As far as I know *.dnsmadeeasy.com are the correct DNS servers for our domain. Control over our domain name is actually managed by the technical lead at TEN, so I will make 100% certain with them that this is correct. Thanks for the suggestion.
