Great work

All I get now is Britney, STOP, and gamblingresources, but the latter one has a syntaxis-error, so it doesn't load. (not that I mind)

thanks to everyone, although i havent seen any "i've just turned off my popup blocker" messages yet

no contact, from past experience they would say
1) they didnt know about it
2) they cant do anything about it

a new provider we use now offers the ability to select one-by-one the campaigns that you want to run instead of giving you a take-it-or-leave-it package....

we're also showing cpc(cost per click) text ads from google now....

Also Mark, maybe some of us never turned the pop-up blocker on for this site, hence the lack of "I turned my blocker off now" messages?

Yep, just came to the site. Viewed two pages on the forums: the "Community" forum page, and the "Logged into Directory" thread, and got five installer prompts! NetpalOffers.net, The Gator Corporation, Spyware Company, and some other which I don't remember. Quite a sorry sight this, never seen so many installers around here before.

EDIT: Got another one: 180Solutions

Yeah I've had 2 Gators and another piece of software it wanted me to install. I don't know what, but I don't really want to find out.

Per Ming's request:

Light ultra-special, IE 6.0, Windows XP professional.

For the last two days, I've experienced a barrage of pop-ups when I navigate around Apolyton. It seems always to be the same set of 3-4 pop-ups. If I close the pop-ups, they open right back up again; if I leave them open, no extra ones spawn. I remember this being a problem a long time ago, but the ultra-special has worked well until now.

Current pop-ups:
