VoiceFive pop-up on home page

I just got it in Safari today after clearing caches on my MBP.
Is this something that MR is doing (and, presumably, getting compensated for), or do I have some sort of infection on my machine?

Still showing up!
This incredibly annoying pop-up/drop-down referred to above is still very present on Mobile Safari (via iPad) when visiting MR. I've tried "closing", "opting-out", and even answering their "quick survey", which btw, is much longer than the 5-questions they claim, and nothing works. It keep showing up at almost every single visit to this site.
Please advise Arn.
Much thanks!

Just saw this a few minutes ago. You should really consider blacklisting this advertiser.
I don't use adblock as I want to support sites like this and occasionally I will see something interesting in an ad...but ads like this one give me a strong incentive to turn it back on.

Just wanted to confirm this is being worked on. Ticket filed with our ad provider to find out why this keeps coming back.
Spotted this pop-up advertisement this AM. My opinion counts. It disappears after ~10 seconds. Clearly, my screen-grab reflex is way too slow. 
we're having trouble tracking it down. And I can't get it to trigger.
If someone can trigger it. Can you take a screenshot of all the ads on the page, aside from the pop-up?

I get this pop up every time I visit your site; and when I say every time, what I mean is: Every. Single. Time.
Reproducibility:
I've attached 4 screenshots of the results of this process; if you'd like any more let me know.
Reproducibility:
- Run IE on Windows 8.1.
- Set IE to clear history/cookies when the browser closes.
- Visit macrumors.com, get pop-up.
- Close IE.
- Repeat step 3.

Nope. It pops up about ~2-5s after the page + ads appear to finish loading, then goes away automatically after ~15s. If cookies aren't cleared after it goes away it doesn't appear to come back upon reloading.
I use a popup blocker, but VoiceFive evaded it. Regularly use CCleaner but that had no effect on the VF popups.
Finally found a solution through Ghostery, a tracker blocker I use as a Chrome extension. Once I blocked VoiceFive from tracking me, the popups here stopped.
Unsure if Ghostery works with IE, but you may want to see if IE allows you to block tracking and if so, add VoiceFive to your blocked list.
