Frankly, that sounds like an issue with your device. There's nothing in the coding for ad display that should be monkeying with your keyboard, and being redirected to the App Store sounds like malware. Especially since it only started a couple of weeks ago. To the best of my knowledge, nothing has changed on our end about how the ads are served in that time.

Hey there! Having fun?
I wasn't aware that iPhones were susceptible to malware. (Though it seems like pretty odd malware to be trying to get me to download Deer Hunter and The Sims.)
It only happens on this site, too. I can post on the Mc Leod Gaming forums and Smashboards without any trouble.
EDIT: It's happening less often today, but it is still happening. At least I can post now.

Still just awesome like that
Eh,I used to get redirects from rogue ads, but not so much anymore. I mostly use my phone to post here and the forum us perfectly usable to me.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

Adbot is seriously misbehaving on mobile lately, making the forums next to impossible to use.
I have to type all of my posts under Notes and then copy/pasting them, including this one, in order to post at all, because the increasingly intrusive ads are constantly closing my keyboard when I try to type, never letting me put more than one or two letters at a time (save rare circumstances when the page doesn't finish loading, which is the only way I managed to post a multiple-letter thread title) and redirecting me to the App Store when I try to browse.
This has not happened before around two weeks ago.
Do something about this...
