No matter what I click or where I go, it pops right back up. That discussion we had about pushing things too far ...

I BEG OF YOU, MAKE IT STOP!! For the love of god, make it go away!!


I don't mind it coming up once, but it came up EVERY page for like 30 in a row. It's driving me nuts!!!!

I agree its on EVERYPAGE! And it has variants!

[:down:

Once in awhile is good, but this is bad...really bad

Boo! :down:

Couldn't agree more. I know these are coming, but I really think you should try something along the lines of SA.

They have a great little system over there. $10 for life, $20 for a Platinum, and for $10 you can change other user's custom titles, for $9 you can have your own banner ad, etc.

These pop unders suck. Everything I do I get a pop under

Phew! So isn't just me that's having this annoying as hell problem. ;)

Anyone click the banner? I get ... interesting results.

Yeah, I just mentioned this in the other popup thread a little while ago. Pretty freaking annoying.

Can someone please email me if these go away? I find them to be as annoying as telemarkers and can't take it constantly.


I'm outta here for now.

_damn_ annoying, but at least Pop Up Killer does take care of it,
as it isn't a pop under, unlike the discover card ad, which I don't mind. This one is pretty annoying!

ps I did get an question correct though!

one great poster leaves.... :(

Here's what I just posted in other:

If I have any outstanding thread posts to reply to, they won't be anytime soon.

I have a few pet peeves in life. One of them is telemarkters. I think they are the most evil of parasites on the planet. I know people who are now having to pay for cell phone charges because of them! I know they will probably fight it, but unitl there is some legislation, that could be a problem for many.

Another big one for me is pop ups and pop unders. I understand that Geoff needs to make money to keep this place going. And as much as I hate them, he did say that he would keep them to once every 12 hours or something like that. Tonight I've gotten one every page. I hate them with a firey passion.

As much as I really enjoy all of my "friends" here, I hate these things too much to put up with them. I posted in a thread in the feedback forum and mods, if you want to close this, go ahead.

If someone would drop me an email if these go away, I'll be back. If I don't hear from anyone, it's been a grand pleasure "talking" with many of you. But, if they don't go away, chances are VERY high that I won't be back. I can't stand these things and as a general rule, I don't use sites that use pop ups/unders. I really don't get them much on Yahoo and I use Yahoo only to check email.

I didn't just want to drop off the face of the planet without say anything to anyone. I bid you good evening. Feel free to email me if you like.

It could be a temporary thing that Geoff has to fix...

I dunno dude, it's been a few hours now. I've been hanging at SA all night b/c I can't stand the pop ups

All you need to do is just keep it minimized and you wont see it when you keep reloading these pages...not very hard....

...or just download Pop-Up stopper, and be done with it...

Still a pain in the ass.

I actually just CANCELLED MY V order because of this stupid ass pop up. Maybe I'llt rade for it, or eBay it..but WB is not directly getting my money. No way no how.

:down: :down: :down:

a good way to get rid of it is to minimize the image. now you wont get anymore. hope that helps.

One would think it would be more of a pain in the ass to actually goto a different site and actually cancel an order rather than minimize a window....but what do I know :)

First The Internet Movie Database...and now DVDTalk! :mad:

I am sorry guys but think about it, in this friggin economy it was only a matter of time. It is not like it is the end of the world here...

It's a matter or principles. :)

Wow, there's a lot of whining going on in here. :)

As I said, leave the pop-up open and it won't "pop up" every time you go to a new page.

What <i>I</i> want to know, though, is...

<b>IS IT JULIET, DIANA, OR LYDIA??</b>

:hscratch:

I guess I'm just lucky. It only came up once for me.

I'm getting them on every 'click' too.

:down:

You know, I answered the damn question right, I clicked to buy it, and I still get it. What's the point of a pop up that doesnt' go away after you utilize it?

Me too. :(

Here's the answer to all your questions... Geoff posted it in another thread:

Looks like we'll just have to live with them for a bit.

Here's something else to note:

The pop-up <U><B><I>does not</B></I></U> pop-up in the adult forum... so if you don't want to deal with it... go post there.

Doesn't bother me much... If this is what we have to live with to keep the site alive, then I can live with it...

Not a big deal at all!

Sure, there are an infinite number of ways to make the ad go away ...

But it's hardly an effective revenue generator if every user runs advanced ad-blocking all the time.

I turn off my ad-blocker and cookie manager when surfing only DVD Talk to help support, but it's back on now.

I hate it. I came here to comment, and i found this thread.

Luckily, after closing it 5 times, i realized i could just minimize it and it would just sit and taunt me on the task bar - and I can live with that....

:(

I almost brought this up earlier. I didnt because I havent donated anything to the running of this place. But to turn off the ads youre basically taking money out of the sites pocket. Is it that big a deal? You have to turn your wrist a whole two inches or so? Im not saying all us regular posters should mail checks but christ all you have to do is minimize or close them.

Way to pull together as a community. :up:

We all agreed to use Geoff's links. We all agree to support whatever way possible, but a neverending pop up campaign is ridiculous

I used to love "V".

Exactly. I don't like, but can deal with a one time pop up.
I don't really need to be beat over the head with it though.

Got some bad hooch, huh?

:D

Uh Oh! Does this mean I'm off the "ignore" list?

You take things too literally ...

:D
