Just recently the forums went from forums to some random business website. I hadn't clicked on anything and only went to another tab when it did this.
It's happened twice now, so any idea why it's doing this?

Could be an ad that's popping up. I haven't experienced this problem before.
What URL are you using?

I'm using Chrome, but it has literally randomly dropped me at another site, the web address changed and everything. So far it hasn't happened since

I mean like the website link. You're using wcrpforums.com , right? Instead of the freeforums.net.
What site did it drop you at?

I am using wcrpforums.com
It has dropped me at Dodge.com and reimageplus.com

okay, hmm You don't click on the ads, correct? I'm reading up on the 2nd site's ads right now because I don't think dodge has anything to do with it.

malwaretips.com/blogs/reimageplus-popup-virus/I've found this so far; if your computer is being redirected to reimageplus then your computer might be infected w/ an adware program. but if it hasn't happened in awhile, I could be wrong I don't know much when it comes to adware and certain pop-ups since I hardly experience them + I've only received them once or twice that I can remember. edit ;; support.proboards.com/thread/563912/advertising-hijackthis explains another user's experience w/ reimageplus ads
