I hate 'em!! Especially when it's a big green ugly thing advertising some cheap crap PeeCee!

Can't get rid of it?? When I'm browsing round the forums the last thing I want is to have to close off a zillion ad windows.

And yeah I appreciate that Monish has to make money somehow.

Me too, about the same time. A big fat green one that filled my screen.

I got one yesterday and was wondering why. What's up with them?

I love OmniWeb. I haven't seen a pop-up ad since I started using it. It's got filtering settings for all sorts of great stuff that annoys me!

Have never gotten one.

paul · February 9, 2002 11:02PM

I have, i didnt realize it was coming from AI until someone mentioned it here...

jambo · February 10, 2002 2:31PM

They seem to be over at the MacNN Forums now!

cosmo · February 10, 2002 10:27PM

i've never gotten a popup from AI.

Maybe its because i use omniweb, but i have never set up any filtering prefs.

popups are evil! please don't resort to using the (that was directed at AI/MacNN)

The ad broker is being contacted about this, because this is clearly unacceptable.

Nick,
