It's a nice idea, but I doubt it'd work. Do you have any idea how many pop-up ads users view on a daily basis on EoFF? I swear I must have closed at least 800 pop-up ads in the past twenty-four hours alone. Admittedly, I'm a more obsessive user than most people, but regardless, each time you click on a link or hit the back button, one, even two pop-up ads sometimes show up.

Now think how much money that translates to.

I don't think any user has enough money to compensate for that, and I doubt that GameSquad would do it forever unless we gave them far more money than it was worth. I wouldn't be willing to pay them for anything except annihilating the pop-up ads forever, and honestly, I wouldn't even support giving them the pleasure of receiving our money to make them stop the pop-up madness. That would bloat up their egos more.

Besides, if GS does this to EoFF, they probably do it to other sites, too. They'd probably want us to pay for those sites as well. I really don't know what the financial situation is, but it seems hopeless.

I don't like what GameSquad has done to our favorite forum, but I live with it. I just right-click on the offending window icons as soon as they show up. And then, with a few exceptions, they're gone before I even have to view their contents. The pesky few others get the X-treatment, and they're gone quickly, as well.

There are more important things to worry about, I feel. If it really bothers you that much, get one of those pop-up killer programs. I honestly try not to let it get to me. It's better than the alternative. At least we still have the forums.

Peace
