wardz Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 no one likes the pop up ads, but if you would like to help pay the bills then they might get taken down. -W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkSide Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Maybe this should be the start of a new poll............ how many of us have really ever clicked (intentionally) on any pop-up ad that has come up? I know I never have, and that includes more than just this site. Sometimes I don't understand the whole "advertising" world. Yeah sure I know about the "amazing x-10 camera" as many of you also do , but quite simply, I've been conditioned pavlovian style to HATE the little buggers. I will never buy one, and if I saw one at a friends house I would smash it to pieces. I think the ad world knows this to some extent to, cuz they try to trick you into clicking on their ads, by the graphical design of some of them. It's pretty lowdown in my book to put a fake "X" button in the corner of an ad, don't you? I guess my point is, these ads do NOTHING for me, and I don't see them doing anything for anyone else I know. What keeps them around? PS I would pay a small fee to access the forums here, not a lot, but something on the order of 30 bucks a year would be my limit, if it meant the stinking ads would go away.

Rogue15 Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 I've clicked a few of those ads, the ones on the bottom right of the screen are the most useful...but that 'watch shreck on your computer' that is a lie. I tried to sign up for it, and they needed a credit card number. The price isn't bad though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJediGuy Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 If the popup ads bother you, download a program called WebWasher. Download from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDS 25.000. users all paying 30 bux a year, thats 750.000 $ ...that should be enough to pay for the forums i think.. i would pay too.. just kill the damn adds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-- Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 The more ads clicked, the better rates the LFnetwork gets on ads. The better the rates, the less ads. Get it? Start clickin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greedo Mahone Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 We had a board once which allowed voluntary online donation and succeeded in getting rid of the pop-ups. Another board went to banner ads, which people didn't mind as much due to their inobtrusiveness. People clicked on them freely just to help out. I'll admit, though, that colon polyps ad is a little unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|HfH|Tsavong La Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Do you use Kazaa? Some of the pop-ups you get while surfing arent even from the pages u are visiting... Also..I dont mind the pop-ups. What I DO mind is when i idle on a page, go to take a piss, come back and have 30 of the same exact pop-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACGe0rge Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I think banner adds are a better idea. I'm not bothered by them and often take a look at them to see what they advertize. The pop-ups just annoy me and I close them before I even look at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
