Stupid "SpyWare Alert" popup starting to piss me off...

[Skanky Burns]

I would prefer to allow popups so that Apolyton can get a meager revenue, in the vague hope that the site will stay around for a while.

Amen to that brother!

I would rather close a couple of pop-ups each day than have Mark and Dan paying out of their own pockets to keep the site running on a daily basis (that is ... if they don't already).
They've already put a HUGE amount of time into creating and maintaining the site. Clicking the X in the top-right hand corner of a few windows is the list I can do in return IMHO.

I know, I know ... this has been said before and always refused by the admins, but.....
I think the best way to get money for the site would be to allow voluntary PayPal (or similar) donations. I sure wouldn't mind paying £10-20 a year towards this site* and I know I'm not alone in that regard.



*the 12th of this month is my 1 year anniversary of joining this site ... more than 2000 posts in one year?!? ... holy cow I'm a sad case

Hehe, I think a more likely alternative to the popup arrangement would be registration fees. Perhaps if Mark mentions that from now on people will stop moaning about popups.

Perhaps posters should be charged a small fee for each post they make?

hehehehe ... this would of course have the effect of driving the Spam Shark into extinction, but I doubt the mods would mind that too much.

Or run it like a debit card. People pay to post so many posts ahead of time. Put a limit on how much people can buy. People might still spam, but they will have to think about it beforehand.

You do know I was joking, right obiwan?

Yup. No problems here either.

As long as ads keep Apolyton alive, I don't care. Ads are as commonplace as junk mail or advertising hoardings.

Markos has already rejected our donations, and I hope this doesn't become a Game-Spot style site where you have to pay some abominal price just to see a game review. Good luck and hats off to you 'Poly.

As long as the pop ups aren't that intrusive, I don't mind it.
