Long-time lurker but felt that I should mention something.
I occasionally visit tickletown.com, but very recently whenever I've tried to visit it I receive the following warning from my browser - Chrome:
The Website Ahead Contains Malware!
Google Chrome has blocked access to tickletown.com for now.
Even if you have visited this website safely in the past, visiting it now is very likely to infect your computer with malware.
Malware is malicious software that causes things like identity theft, financial loss, and permanent file deletion.
Pasted below is Chrome's diagnostic page for the site:
