    Default PoP Ups

    Sigh. -_- . It has begun. The DREADED pop-ups on EoFF. Im sorry guys but I cant stand them. I know you make money off this etc, but this REALLY annoys me, going to a diffrent topic/forum, followed by 2 friggin pop ups. Meh. I might be picky, but, plz. - _-

    Noone really has a choice. Ads are a necessary evil for any free service. Besides, I don't think the EoFF staff have any say in it anyhow. It's the company that hosts the fora that "make money off this". I hate ads myself, and who doesn't, but it's the only choice I think.
    Knock yourselves down.

    We don't make money. The popups are what keeps EoFF free so we don't have to pay our hosts to host us. You could get a popup-killer if it bothers you that much. http://www.download.com has some.

    Haha, I just got a pop-up add advertising pop-up ads XD
    I wouldnt be so bothered, but I like to always be on the "Who's Online" screen, because it auto-refreshes and I don't disconnect (my ISP disconnects me if I'm idle for long enough). Now everytime that page refreses, up come two more pop-ups!
    And pop-up stoppers never work for me, they always close my IE windows when I try to open them.
    *sigh*

    I will do this. Nothing in my life matters except this. No moment in my life exists except this moment. I am born in this moment, and if I fail, I will die in this moment.

    Pop ups are inconvenient, but I wouldn't waste money on removing them. It may annoy members, who didn't contribute in the first place, but just imagine paying money just to remove a slight inconvenience. It's really not worth it, especially when you can download a pop-up killer.

    I can live with pop-ups. I'd rather that they weren't there, but I can understand why they are there.

    Anyway, one thing I do is leave the first pop-ups I get open. If you do that, then no more will appear, and you don't have to waste your time closing them. You can even use the homebusiness pop-up as an additional IE window. Just don't close it.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    I hate them like the plague myself. But Black Mage is right: they may be annoying, but not half as annoying as having to pay money.
