Here's the "cheat" to avoid these stupid popups:
Just let one of them fully load, and then don't close it - leave it open for the rest of the time you're on the site. Trust me, it is so much better that way.

Markos and Dan,
Seriously, having popups on the page is probably the WORST possible thing that can be
put on a site. This thing is annoying as hell. If you want to annoy users, this is the best way to do it. They'll see it as both being annoying and being an intrusion into their ownspace and online routines.
Keep trying to get Gamestats to get rid of it!
You should point them to this thread, so they can see not only the sheer numbers of people annoyed with it, but also how annoyed they actually are.

I hope we get to the bottom of this annoyance. I think it is a step too far by an overzealous internet advertising company!
This is indeed a massive disincentive to some people to visit. I can cope with adverts. Pop ups are on the same level and junk mail and email!!!

Hey Huey, thanks for that link. I've just installed it, no banners and NO MORE POPUPS! I only get a script error (should I select some extra settings?) when I access the site but the rest seems to work fine.
However,I will keep webwasher set to also ignore the banner ads on Apolyton as a form of protest.
That is until MarkG and Dan officially announce that those popup banners are gone and will stay gone for good. I don't know if they have any say on this matter. But if they can't do a thing about it I want to hear some good reasons why not.
I think it's time to act like a critical consumer. Sorry, but that's the way it is

Anyone want to help me set up an anti-popup petition...?

Mings ideas work, but I hate having too many open windows; it gets too confusing. And it would be a great error if this was to continue and get worse. Besides, it causes more irritation at the advertiser than anything else. Personally I don't give a flying f**k about what is being advertised. Whirlgirl schmirlgirl.
