    Markos, what about those alternative income sources I suggested as examples? This has been a hot issue several times in the past, but AFAIK there has really never been any deceisive statement by you or Dan. Maybe now then?

      Maybe we should instead launch a more dramatic fund raising campaign. "Be a beggar and save Apolyton." If you volunteer to beg at e.g. your local shopping centre, you will get as a bonus the membership of the "Honourary Apolyton Guild" and a custom title.
      A custom title? Mmmmm.... sounds tempting. I'll think about it.


      Markos: Sorry, no screen shots now. If it happens again I'll do it. Or if somthing very similar, but different company asks me the same thing.

        In US with defaul ultra special (I have no clue what the styles do, but that's the one I have) I get those pop-under things occasionally but never the dialer. Are pop-unders meant to be more annoying than pop-ups? I think they are.

          Could you finally consider introducing premier memberships that allow access to Poly without ads or maybe give something extra for the subscribers?
          no extra's needed

            UPDATE:

            our popup provider says they are not supposed to show any such ad(e.g. somone bought the space and put in something else from what he said he would or something similar). i'm sending them your screens

            i have temporary removed the code until they respond that's it's out, or until i implement a way to not show any popup from this service to german visitors(lucky you )

              What about those alternative fund raising models?

                Stop these attempts, Rasbelin, Markos won't add an adult section to Apolyton. But if he does, all posters with status King and above should have free access, of course!

                    1000. It's in the FAQ. OT posts (read: spam ) do not count.

                    Markos: Thanks a lot!

                      Since when have I been campaigning for an adult section on Poly? Ralph, is this some pervert vision you have?

                        I got pop-ups asking me to download dialup software - but I've got broadband.

                            It happened a few days ago. I didn't take a screenshot and so I'm not sure if it was generated by Poly ads or not.
