  • Time to get rid of the evil porn ad Part 2, but not for the reason you think

    I'm being serious here. Please, believe me.

    This ad crashes my computer. It brings 3 or 4 other popups with it, its been increasing in frequency, and there about a 1/3 chance that ALL my IE windows will freeze. It will consume huge amounts of RAM, my hard drive will be accessed wildly, and IE wont shut down (even with system intervention!) for about a minute or two.

    Please, PLEASE do something about this ad. Not only does the ad itself suck (And the fake britney spears pic in the middle suck even more), but it's freezing up my computer. Popup blockers are out of the question simply because I can't find one thats good but free.

    Mark gets .03 cents for every click on that ad

    At this rate he can buy shampoo in 2008!

      A more complete description of the ad would be useful, I think.

      Which evil Britney Spears porn ad in particular is this? We have so many...

      If you can copy the link for it (difficult if it locks up your machine, I know) then that'd make things easier. Markos usually asks for stuff like that.

          This is weird, I've never seen a popup on apolyton, and I don't have a popup-killer

            Saw this part and knew the identity of the poster.
            Of course if it does make your PC crash its is a different matter.

            It brings 3 or 4 other popups with it


            never seen this on 'poly, time to install ad-aware Tass?

            Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                  Do you come into a main page like apolyton.net/forums or /galciv or do you jump directly into specific forums? I've notived that if you jump directly into forums that you rarely if ever get popups.

                    You get fewer adverts if you use the Default Ultra-Special forum style. That might be something you want to try.

                      I usually go to just www.apolyton.net and click on "your threads", but no pop-ups...

                        Ok...I'm becoming convinced that Markos is intentionally doing this to me.

                        I get on Poly and guess what.....The evil ad appeared again. And guess what? More adds popped up with it

                        And its that britney spears one. THey have two of her real pictures, and then one fake picture of her. It should say "Featured Site" on top, and some other sub-popup appears with birthday baloons. Then usually I get a gator popup or a Cometsomething popup, followed by a popup that appears and then disappears.

                        Ugh.

                          Are you sure you don't have any virii or spyware on your system? Because only you seem to be getting multiple popups from 'Poly...
                          I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                            I agree; it's probably Markos. He probably set up a rule to spam communist propagandists from Utah, which would explain why only Tassadar is getting them.

                              I get it everytime I log on also. BUT, if I close Ms. Spears quickly I don't get the other pop-ups.

                              ACK!
                              Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!
