What the heck is up with all the popups? Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Aaarrgghh!

I'm one of those who have a tendency to browse without logging in. I can't do this anymore as everything I do seems to give me two of those www1.contextweb ... somethingorother popups.

Change fora - two popups, open thread - two popups, change page in thread - two popups, logging in to access profile to try and get rid of popups - two popups.
They keep spawning whether I close them or not (so I do have to keep closing them).
Pretty much all of my settings are default and I don't think they've ever been changed but come today I have so many popups that it's almost unusable.

Unless this is my personal punishment for bashing England in the rugby thread I can't think of anything that might've caused this from my end ...

[Edit: Ok. Since I logged in I've only gotten 6 of the [bleep]ing things after accessing 4 different threads in three separate fora which is better than the 18 it would've given me otherwise, but still ... ]

Out of professional curiosity, which ad network was it?

We try to stay away from the ones that deliver ads in a fashion that will really piss off the surfers...

contextweb.com
