Pop-ups?

[Alexander's Horse]

The bloody pop up are crashing my machine at work. They do ugly things through firewalls.

I use this program that gets rid of ads on webpages but I always deactivate it when visiting Apolyton because I don't know if it will cost Markos and Dan any mony when I use it. But until those popups are gone it is activated

pop-ups...

To add insult to injury, the ad is only accessible from the US. Is there anything more pointless?

I think other Hosted Site operators will agree with me that pop-ups suck greatly. When was the last time a professional sites had these things? Maybe Netcenter a few months back, but it included a "f*ck off, don't bother me again" option.

I've always felt that UGO was a horrible site with horrible content and also horrible ads. Those "Like, News" (TM) ads are stupid as all hell but these popups really pushes the envelope of intense hatred I have for this awful association. Since when did an "underground" association (UGO stands for UnderGround Online) have such a bright-colored design, pop-culture content, and otherwise is merely a mainstream content site disguising as an underground site? If any site tries to be underground it had better have content on illegal (or barely legal) activities. I now hate UGO more than any other association on the internet. Even the evil Network Solutions is a distant 2nd.

AIYAH!!! POP-UPS! Scourge of the universe! Make them go away! It's bad enough that the UGO banners frequently delay loading the page for so long, but to have to suffer pop-ups as well .... the indiginity!

Where's the rope?

Popups were what made Geocities lose a lot of (hmm... what's the word?). People went to other sites offering free space because of the pop-ups, and they got rid of them, now what is the host trying to achieve with pop-ups? I thought they were discredited a long time ago as too annoying.

My solution for pop-ups:
Turn off javascript.

Impact on Apolyton:
No "light bulbs", otherwise none.

I always leave javascript off, unless a site I trust requires its activation...

YUK! :mad

Sorry Mark, Dan - it is not your fault, but - Get rid of the bloody things
My venerable home machine can't stand the crashes and the Lord may know what our University firewall will make of them!!!!

getting really angry...

[Apathetic Dreamer]

pop up ads are about the worst, most irritating form of internet advertising anywhere. grrrrrr. .

now, about changing hosts again. . WHY did you and dan say you didn't want to do it?

[Kumiorava]

I get the damn pop-ups, but no adds in them!!! Just frikin' blank boxes, and that really pushes the level of annoyance these things pose to an etirely new level.
It's probably just a problem with my browser, but adds or not, I still don't want the f****** pop-ups! GRRR!!!
