Pop up ads
Why am I all of a sudden getting pop up ads when on the forum?

Re: Pop up ads
Irritating, right? Makes you appreciate how nice this forum is, compared to the level of ad overrun I've seen on other forums.There's the plan, then there's what actually happens.

Re: Pop up ads
They probably get more ad revenue from a full page annoyance that you have to actively close out versus the minor annoyance of a passive banner or footer ad, but they are very irritating and I would like to see them stop.Steve MartinsenComment

Re: Pop up ads
If you're in possession of a small piece of the internet, it's worth making it as presentable of a place as possible for people who are nice enough to visit. It's no different than keeping your storefront clean and organized.
Over the past few days, that pop-up was the first thing that a number of brand new visitors saw. It's not a good first impression. Revenue it might have driven is a short term gain, at best.Originally posted by James McMullenYeadon is right, of course.Comment
