Oh...
I HATE IT.
It's been popping up on Keenspot, too. It's bad enough that I have to see an ad for Go Network every time I leave the Messagez.com screen, but this...what's the big idea??!!

I thought it was the one with sound. I haven't bumped into the pop-up one yet.<P>------------------

The two worst ads I've had so far are the "shock the monkey" (which screws with my mouse) and that piece of $#!^ one that makes sounds. I'm lucky I haven't had the pop-up happen to me yet.<P>Flash ads shouldn't be allowed. They screw up people's computers.

"Sure, you can win lots of money too, if you agree to let us sell your personal information and even then you probably won't get squat." ARGH. I HATE'EMHATE'EMHATE'EM HATE THEM!

Here's a thought...
Why don't we post in the "General Discussion" forum? Start up a board for the people who don't like the pop-up window ads. Readers and moderators should be allowed to post. If we get enough posts maybe Keenspace will take note and do something?

grab.com needs to be dropped from the advertiser list, as well.<P>------------------

Yeah, I just noticed it. It's a new one. And it's the worst of the bunch.
