Downloaded malwarebytes... phone is clear. No issues at all.

As easy as it would be to point it to your phone.. this is not the case this time, I have 3 android phones and all experience the same issue on this forum only nowhere else. So it must be server side, domain routing or phpbb plugin that picks on android devices only.
Pretty sure it is not happening to all android devices though, else I would have heard about it more (believe me, when things aren’t working my email box gets lit up!). Do your browsers sync between devices, like chrome does?
There is more to this I think. I have removed one plugin that could have potentially interacted in this way (external plugin), the rest are internal plugins that seem harmless. Only other link is to google adsense, and the blocking pages seem to be down at the moment.

Interesting, the only articles relating to hat domain suggest it is a browser virus:

Not pointing fingers either way, just trying to get to the bottom of it and there doesn't appear to be anything server side I can find (so far)

I'd agree with you there but I have only experienced it on android device, that malware is known on windows. I have not experienced it anywhere else. Right now for e.g I am using a brand new phone and I've experienced it twice in two days. Not even using chrome in this case, on Firefox browser for android. It doesn't bother me that much as I close the tab and try again when it happens but the fact is that it only happens on this forum and nowhere else. A malware virus would by default target everything.
I had this problem too, but as I said only with chrome.
I reinstalled chrome, downloaded malwarebytes, avast antivirus and all clear.
Even a hard reset didn't make much difference.
Advice was to reset your advertising id, but that didn't work.
Only going to Firefox worked for me.
I would personally like to know how the redirect works and whether it's a site or a browser issue.
Mine started when using photobucket, but eventually progressed to all sites.
