læmænt Posted January 2, 2002 What the fuck, each time I go to a new page, this banner pops up in a new window. I'm sick of this already. 0 Share this post Link to post
læmænt Posted January 2, 2002 Yes, but apart from that banner, there's also this popup. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zeratul 982 Posted January 2, 2002 I keep on getting this classmates.com popup ad with a distorted pic of a little girl "who made you to eat a bug in 3rd grade" over and over again. AGH! KILL IT! 0 Share this post Link to post

Naked Snake Posted January 2, 2002 Get the Popup Killer I'm not joking when I say this, but one time I got a pop-up for the pop-up killer once. I almost died laughing. 0 Share this post Link to post
læmænt Posted January 2, 2002 Hmm.... *Right Click-Block all images from server*....Sigh, that's the only Mozilla's advantage over Opera so far (apart from unicode support) 0 Share this post Link to post

danarchist Posted January 2, 2002 I have noticed that there have been an assload of pop-up ads recently. They really pissed me off. I guess that they realised no one ever clicks on their banners. But his is really fukin agrivating. I get an average of one every 3 pages now. 0 Share this post Link to post

Arioch Posted January 2, 2002 If you use IE, put mediamgr.ugo.com in your restricted sites list tools->internet options->security->restricted sites->sites... bingo, no more pop-ups on DW I dunno what Ling wants to do about the pop-ups just yet--they are forced upon us by UGO, looks like 0 Share this post Link to post

dsm Posted January 2, 2002 Why are they all of a sudden here? Check the main page. Ling says it's because the bills have to be paid. 0 Share this post Link to post

deadnail Posted January 2, 2002 Pop up banners. Unsolicited email. Virii. Gamespy. I'm tellin' ya, there are some truly evil motherfuckers out there trying to ruin the internet for everyone. Edit.... Humm. I've been using Pow! from Analogx.com to kill all my popups for a good long while. The thing is, you have to tell Pow! which ones to eat. So I was browsing through it's list... and here are some more sites you can add to your IE restricted list like Arioch said. http://ad.doubleclick.net http://adroar.com http://ads.x10.com http://www.flowgo.com http://www.rankyou.com fastclick.net I just added fastclick.net in there, without the full address. Fastclick.net uses different subdomain names (media10.fastclick.net, media22.fastclick.net) to launch their aggressive and generally PATHETIC Internet beg-for-money adds. I hope it works to catch them all. =) 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted January 2, 2002 Better yet, just place them all into the "restricted list" using their domains. x10.com adroar.com etc. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted January 2, 2002 Add goatse.cx and rotten.com too while you're at it. 0 Share this post Link to post
deadnail Posted January 2, 2002 Hey Arioch!! =) Okay so I took your advice and I went back to that menu on IE6 to remove the subdomain and http:// and when I got there my fastclick.net looked like this: *.fastclick.net As soon as I saw that *. I was in love. =) So, FYI, here's the list I have right now. Everyone using IE should do this too: *.adroar.com *.affiliatetarget.com *.doubleclick.net *.fastclick.net *.flowgo.com *.internetfuel.com *.popupmoney.com *.popupsponsor.com *.rankyou.com *.x10.com http://mediamgr.ugo.com 0 Share this post Link to post
Kid Airbag Posted January 2, 2002 Arioch's my hero. Oh, and I think servedby.advertising.com is the annoying classmates one. 0 Share this post Link to post
Rancid-Radio Posted January 2, 2002 mediamgr.ugo.com do you have to put http://www. before that? same question to deadnail 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted January 2, 2002 no, it's basicly just placing the directory in the www place instead of having it after the .com/ so it's a shorter url. 0 Share this post Link to post
