please DVDtalk..stop the pop-ups
 

After a fresh install, spyware blockers, and the google toolbar (w/ pop-up blocker) I come to see the threads and immediately get hit with some 'Free IPOD' (with sign-up of course). Why are you employing tactics to force these ads on people that have said they are not wanted by taking positive steps to block them?

First off, many of the pop-unders... and they are POP-UNDERS come from ad networks, so we're not doing anything to defeat pop-up blockers.

Secondly, we do provide a toolbar (see my sig) which should block our pops...

Thirdly, by registering with DVDTalk, you agreed NOT to use any pop-up blockers (other than the one in Geoff's signature). By trying to block pop-ups, you are violating the terms of the registration.

"Why are you employing tactics to force these ads on people?"

Because the site needs to make money. Bandwidth, servers, time and effort, it's not all free. Ads make the site money. Therefore, you have to see ads. It's part of the Internet. Live with it.

Why don't you just host this site on GeoCities?

BRILLIANT! ;)

You really think that would be an improvement?

I don't have any popup blockers for this site, and I don't think I've seen any pop ups for months? Just a few rich media ones.

:lol: rotfl :lol:

same here

I haven't noticed any thing either myself recently (DVDTalk is enabled for Pop-Ups and any other ads that might come my way).

As a side editorial, however, I should say that pop-unders are just as annoying as pop-ups...if not more so.

I have no complaints. This place is paradise compared to other sites out there.

I'm not complaining, since I realise they pay for the site, but although there is a technical difference between pop ups and pop unders, in all reality they're the same thing

:lol: Good to see you venturing out from the main Forum. Even saw you in the Otter area.

I have yahoo but of late they are getting through for some reason

All this time breaking the rules :o

I haven't seen too many pop ups, I'm pretty happy with the site :)

The worst ones are the frosted strawberry. Please, no more!

You've gotta be kidding. Those cinnamon ones make Santa Claus cry.

The smores ones are r0XX0r$!

The kitten, just before Chad, popped his "tart", thus killing it. :(

yeah, and you never venture off the mainland anymore. Haven't seen you in the island area in ages. :(

I get bombarded with netflix. Im not talking about a few im talking 30 popups everytime I come to the site. I get two everytime I want to look at a thread.Its ridiculous! I realize that we need sponsers but im so sick of having to delete these windows that I will never EVER use their service.

In fact I just got two for submiting that post.

Logic, have you run Adaware or something similar?

I am not getting any Netflix.

strong agreement.

I don't get Netflix either.
