Doesn't explain how I (MBAM PRO user) see the warning, but regular MBAM users do not? atleast investigate the issue. could have slipped some malware under your nose into the server for all you know.

You see the warning because you have website blocking (pro-only) enabled. bitcointalk.org is blocked in the site blocking list. I've already received reports of this.

I've just scanned bitcointalk.org

http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/ - Clean

However, I found that hpHosts is currently listing bitcointalk.org - i.e. 'Malwarebytes'.

See: http://hosts-file.net/?s=bitcointalk.org this is probably an error and the admin. should contact 'Request removal' for more info.

Not 100% sure how ads are being served here, but it might be to do with temporarily hijacked 3rd party content and/or in relation to linked content.

This report, I suspect is actually a 'false positive'.
