These freaking pop ups are getting on my last nerve, man. I've had TWO in the last 15 picoseconds. I use Camino and Safari to block pop ups but they keep coming. And only on this site. Can you guys stop it already? :mad:

you'll notice helpful google links in the ads below (sarcasm mode = on)

some sites just don't get it and think that $4 more a month in revenue make up for annoying their user base. I run a major site but would never consider any popups, popunders or anything similar. Its just bad karma.

Amen. I used to check this site first thing every morning, now maybe once a week. The ad content and brainless 'analyst' re-posts are a complete waste of my time.

You're actually thinking of pop-unders, which AI uses in abundance (I get two just going to an article), but today, AI actually started using pop-ups in addition to pop-unders. Kasper must be getting really desperate for funds.

I think maybe AI checks if you're logged on. On my home machine with Safari, I get no ads, but I stay logged on at all times. On my work machine with Firefox and Adblock, I get lots of ads, but I set Firefox to clear cookies and all other browser info when I quit.

Yeah, that's the ticket. It's freakin annoying. Do people realize that NOBODY clicks on these things? They're pointless and a waste of time. Sort of like the FCC policing the airwaves and fining people for dropping the "f" bomb. I'm sure 99.9% of the population has heard the word, so what's the point?
