Like I said, I'm not defending them or what they do. It could be intentional for all I know. I would recommend you pull any links to them until it is fixed.
I pulled the links yesterday. I just went back in and brought up one of the feeds. You are right about "My Free Pay Site. Here is the iframe link.

<center>
<iframe width="750" scrolling="no" height="350" frameborder="0"
src="http://www.myfreepaysite.com/content3.html"
allowtransparency="true" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"
name="Content3"></iframe>
</center>

If I understand correctly to promote "My Free Pay Site" is by invitation only, yes? Looks like a NATS affiliate link. I can't imagine someone hacking an iframe into their many, many feeds, can you? Especially with a trackable affiliate link.

What's the proverb? If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, it must be a fucking duck!

This could be cleared up pretty quickly by whomever operates "My Free Pay Site". I would expect to hear the only excuse possible that the Extreme servers were hacked, but I believe they have enough safeguards in place to keep that from happening. After all, it is a feed site, if it were easily hacked to add an iframe with a traceable affiliate link and I owned "My Free Pay Site", I would be taking a serious interest in the possible source of all of this. If the affiliate link belongs to Extreme Feeds, I would expect to hear nothing from either one.
