Richo Rosai Posted July 30, 2008 I've accidentally gone to that site (or at least closed a window that was in the process of loading it) like 5 times now. There's no apparent close button so you just have to wait for it! At least Mulder and Scully hat a little barely visible [close] box... 0 Share this post Link to post

I figure so, but this is the only site I frequent which has anything Firefox doesn't handle by default so I've never gotten around to looking into that... 0 Share this post Link to post
Planky Posted July 30, 2008 Install Adblock Plus Download is only a couple of seconds and a restart of FF and you are good to go (ad-free too) 0 Share this post Link to post
Lord_Z Posted July 30, 2008 I don't usually mind adds but the ones here like to impair my vision and use very small or invisible close buttons. Really annoying... 0 Share this post Link to post
Nuxius Posted July 30, 2008 What a minute, you're trying to tell me Doomworld has ads? Seriously? Get out of here! *looks under the covers* - Nope, no ads here. *looks under the bed* - Nope, no ads here either. *looks in the closet* - Nope, there's no ads here. *looks behind the curtain* - Definitely no ads here. See, you're just imagining things! :p 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted July 30, 2008 I refused to buy "Soldner: Secret Wars" or see that film with the burning guy on a motorbike (but apparently both where pretty shitty anywaty) because of flash ads. The soldner one especially as it "faded in" slowly so you'd click on it while it was invisible 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted July 30, 2008 Doomworld is an ad-free zone on my browser. Jodwin said:I have ads on my ass.Does it pay well? 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted July 30, 2008 I thought you were being harassed by Quakers with grenade launchers, not ads. 0 Share this post Link to post

MasterOFDeath Posted July 30, 2008 Normally I don't get ads but on /idgames/ FireFox blocks many popups, the banners are there at the top, and some incredibly irritating flash-based popup ads get through. Like the mentioned Pineapple guys. 0 Share this post Link to post
Csonicgo Posted July 30, 2008 I've yet to see the pineapple guys, but I did see one window about a futon or something. futon news? like I need news on furniture. EDIT: upon disabling adblock, I noticed about 3 ads that were blatant copyright infringement. 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted July 31, 2008 Maybe to appeal to frequent complaints, I now noticed that the Pineapple guys have a HUGE ASS CLOSE BUTTON (only that it blends and camouflages with the DW background...coincidence?) 0 Share this post Link to post
