Kain Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 BASTARD POPUPS!!! Who starts them and why are they here? HONOSTLY!!! A year ago the only popups came up on porn sights! Now I can't leave my computer for 2 minutes without a popup coming up, and the IE wont even be open! How does everyone else feel about this BS?

Ratmjedi Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 We'd all be wealthy Rogue15 I hate them alot. They are just annoying and just making surfing the net a nuesence.

Reborn Outcast Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Yea pop-ups can go either way. You love em cause they help the forums but you hate em because they're always there and they pop-up halfway through a reply and screw you up. I think I hate em more than I love em. Anyone know of any good pop-up blockers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnut_Man Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I've seen several websites that offer yearly "pop-go aways" that cost $7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova_wolf Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Being a use of a freebie web hoster, pop-ups jsut RUIN the experience for the viewer. You go to all the effort of tracking down / coding some sweet little applet menus, some nice pictures and doing some great work, only to have some ones 56K modem connection go NNUURRGGHHH!!! from too many pop ups invading the screen. Would love to find the creator of these things and show him how a shotgun 'pops-up'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that everybody hates them. If there is one person here that actually likes them, I have pity on their soul. Oh, I dunno. I saw one popup to this hideen camera one time. It was about the size of a loaf of bread, but if you put it in the laundry basket and cover it, it'll be hidden! I got it, I found I could spy into my neighbors bedroom, just like the camera said! WOW! Then I realized that my neighbor was a 65 year old dude... The camera didnt seem so spiffy anymore. I'm waiting for that popup that gives me the free vacation. My neighbor was here when that happened, and HE CLOSED IT. Bastard stole my vacation. I put his pics up on the net for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemme w/Stick Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Hmm, I think that you should look long for a person, who actually likes the popups. I know I hate them! -Clemme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adillon Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Originally posted by Reborn Outcast Anyone know of any good pop-up blockers? i run NoAds (free download from download.com) ... at first it's annoying to have to tell the app which windows to treat as pop-ups, but once you do it's smooth sailing. only rarely now do pop-up ads make an appearance.

XERXES Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 i hate e-comercials too. but theres nothing you can do about it much. just get a pop-up killer and (#@% *ahem* hush:o Originally posted by MydnightPsion yea, popups for popup blockers are my favorite...i just wanna find the guy who sends em, drag him out into the street, smash his fingers and toes with a hammer, and finally shoot him dead... there is no "guy" that sends you the pop-ups. They are just triggered to open the URL of the pop-up whenever you go to a particular site. Originally posted by MydnightPsion !!! A year ago the only popups came up on porn sights! Now I can't leave my computer for 2 minutes without a popup coming up, 1. learn english better. 2. get pop-up killer. 3. chill out with the porn. 4. getting a gf might help with 3. 5. dont complain and waste precious LF bandwith. 6. their just e-comercials.

SmartDragon Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 The one I hate is the one that starts when you type the wrong address and then opens three every time you close one of the mf's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted February 5, 2003 Author Share Posted February 5, 2003 well, for a minute I was offended by XERXES, until I read 7. I realize their is no guy who sends them, but someone HAD to of thought of em! Someone with a crummy website who needed some hits. (<--story of the first popup, I swear to Bob!) and then everyone and their mama jumped on and said 'Lets offer bogus prizes and fake vacations!' Shock, don't take that free vacation man. It's a time share! Everyone remember the Time Share episode of South Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
