Pop-ups? Put an end to popups!

Am I the only one getting pop-up windows? Is this supposed to happen? It's really annoying, and that's even though the advertisment is still up there.

AAAAAARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I know the damned banners are necessary to get money for the site, but the Gottverdammte popup is ridiculous. #$%^ing "whirlgirl" Ought to be hurlgurl. I've already had the thing autorefresh and gain focus exactly as I was posting - the result was that it blew away what I'd written, and the deletion of part of the post I quoted from, and instead posted just a complete quote from the other guy's post with no edits.

Extremely annoying, and it interferes functionally with the site. If I wanted hidden trigger popups, I'd hang out on warez sites.

Administrators, et al.:

Please refrain from using pop-up ads. They have a nasty habit of crashing certain browsers and that, my friends, will drive people away ... thereby achieving the exact *opposite* of the original intention.

The pop-ups seem to be connected with the UGO e-mail ad. I'm not getting them on pages with any of the other ads.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

I think other Hosted Site operators will agree with me that pop-ups suck greatly. When was the last time a professional sites had these things? Maybe Netcenter a few months back, but it included a "f*ck off, don't bother me again" option.

I've always felt that UGO was a horrible site with horrible content and also horrible ads. Those "Like, News" (TM) ads are stupid as all hell but these popups really pushes the envelope of intense hatred I have for this awful association. Since when did an "underground" association (UGO stands for UnderGround Online) have such a bright-colored design, pop-culture content, and otherwise is merely a mainstream content site disguising as an underground site? If any site tries to be underground it had better have content on illegal (or barely legal) activities. I now hate UGO more than any other association on the internet. Even the evil Network Solutions is a distant 2nd.

Popups were what made Geocities lose a lot of (hmm... what's the word?). People went to other sites offering free space because of the pop-ups, and they got rid of them, now what is the host trying to achieve with pop-ups? I thought they were discredited a long time ago as too annoying.

Got spare money?

My solution for pop-ups:
Turn off javascript.

Impact on Apolyton:
No "light bulbs", otherwise none.

I always leave javascript off, unless a site I trust requires its activation...

I get the damn pop-ups, but no adds in them!!! Just frikin' blank boxes, and that really pushes the level of annoyance these things pose to an etirely new level.
It's probably just a problem with my browser, but adds or not, I still don't want the f****** pop-ups! GRRR!!!
