how can this be?

[Shlup]

Taking into consideration that Girls Gone Wild is all about getting young women drunk for the purpose of exploiting them, I'd complain to the server about their choice of sponsors if I were EoFF's webmaster. *cough*

[ZeZipster]

The proxy set up on the LAN I'm using stops virtually all ads (and nearly all online games too).

[Big Ogre Umaro]

Yeah, and Girls Gone Wild sucks anyway. I mean...it's not exactly ALL THAT wild if they keep on doing the same thing over and over again. I'd like to see some girls knocking over a liquor store or getting in a shootout with the cops. That'd be wild.

So yeah, I've seen this ad a couple times and it suck suck sucks. Roogle, talk to the host plz

[Red Wizard]

While it really doesn't bother me that much, I don't appreciate it's being there. Especially because it shows up despite my adblocking.

I've always found it strangely ironic that one of the pop-ups here is advertising a pop-up stopper.

I really hate that one.

The Hosts file solution earlier works fine for me in Opera 5 and in Mozilla, no annoying extra popups when server not found etc. But it might be because I have a web server on my own PC, so I'm actually getting the normal 404s instead

Not irony, just good marketing.

The hosts things seems to work in Phoenix in Linux too, thankfully.

[Yamaneko]

I've blocked all pop-ups and banners to sites I regularly go to. My advice to everyone is to send MS an email and tell them to put some sort of ad control options in IE7, doubtful though. *loves Phoenix*

I don't know if Roogle has the email for Gamesquad, but I sure as hell don't, and last time I checked the only email addresses in the webmaster email are the ones that I put in. So if you like, feel free to PM / email webmaster@eyesonff.com and tell us WHO we're meant to email, thanks.

*cuddle*

EDIT: Snapshots and url's for the ads would be apprecciated, thanks.

[Roogle]

I'm on it...

[Leeza]

With Panicware's Pop-up Stopper, I get absolutely no ads, but I think I'll turn it off for a while so that I can see of these ads that I haven't seen before.

http://www.panicware.com if anyone wants to download it. It is free.

[Citizen Bleys]

Would somebody care to remind me where EoFF's pop-up ads are under? I just switched back to Windows XPee, so I lost my old hosts file.

Thou'rt a prince.

[Roogle]

Just to update on the situation, there hasn't really been a reply, so yeah. Try to deal with the ads for now by using one of the suggestions offered in this thread.

Sorry about the wait.
