I haven't gotten a single pop up or ad since I joined a few days ago. Possibly it's because I disabled pop-ups?

Sorry to hear that Chris,
I too hate those flipping adds. Though I have have a pop up blocker, which helps. I had to specificially install the pop up blocker to keep that trash off of my screen. It sucks.

Have you also disabled pop-ups in your browser settings, not only a 3rd party pop-up blocker?

I find it quite ironic and amusing that your post wreaks of the drama that you so claim to loathe.
![]() FYI: A simple pop up blocker stops the pop ups cold.

Okay lets get freaking. Ill play the
today.1. The title of the thread. Why not just post up a simple thread asking how to stop or block pop ups? Or better yet PM a mod and ask them about it. I have never had one and I am on here as much as anyone. Pop ups are a simple fix. All the other fluff is drama flat out.2. The Farewell. Why bother saying a public farewell? If you want to leave or quit something just do it and be done with it. The post reads like a Shakespearean actors dying soliloquy and only seeks to draw attention despite his protest against drama. If no one reads it, or it gets deleted or has a million posts. 3. The other forum mention. Why bring that up at all as it has nothing to do with pop ups? Unrelated historical context only breeds hysteria, i.e. drama.

Okay....
1. I should not have to add a pop up blocker to surf the sites I love. if I do, I just wont go there anymore, hence here. 2. I have a lot of friends on here, and I am not going to PM everyone of them, this is the easiest way to reach a mass number of people. 3. I mentioned I went elsewhere, I brought no names, or links, or anything else. Tool.

Just for kicks, 'cause I am a kicker, I turned off my built in pop up blocker with Firefox 2.0.0.12 and I am not getting any pop up ads here.
The only ads I see are the Google ones top and bottom. Most of the time they are text ads, sometimes a Toyota FJ Cruiser ad since Toyota now sponsors this site. Those two ad positions are not even a nuisance to me, so I do not even block them. I have to agree with the wise Wabbit, the title, the farewell, it all boils down to drama. There is a thread floating around here already on how to deal with ads that will wipe them out entirely, the banner and tower type. No doubt it would block a "true" pop up add too, but as mentioned, I have never ever seen one here before.

Not a bad idea.......that should end the debate on IF they are appearing.
I don't think "drama" was even mentioned until post #6 which seems to be the true irony here. Surely people are trying to oppress other people's opinions on here are they?

Those are banner ads.
There is a HUGE difference between a banner ad and a pop up. A pop up ad is one you have to click the X in the upper right corner to turn off. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

WOW, I just installed the add on from the link above and shut down the Fox, and reopened it, and a box came up and I checked the first radio button in it to subscribe, and came here and the Google ads are not even showing.
I ran this on my older PC, but have not put anything back on the new gaming PC I built over the Christmas break until just now. Best of all the add on is free.

I have installed this on my Mozilla and it works great I can block out all the ads and allow the site to still run for sites that use java. if you are not using Mozilla you should be and this is a great ad on for it.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722 lol i see you have it already I wonder why it is not working for you I have no scroll over pop ups unlike pirate. I block everything except yotatech on my no script blocker list and I have no ads at all

We can agree to disagree on what Chris wrote. What I see in Chris's post is a sincere farewell, justification for why he's leaving, and confirmation that he isn't getting out of wheeling, that he's just going elsewhere. I'm not such a cynic that I immediately jump to conclusions without giving them the benefit of the doubt. I'm taking it at face value. As to why he posted, it's just not in all people to just scurry away. He made friends with a lot of people on this forum - and leaving somewhere you've hung your hat for a few years and poured your free time into isn't easy. I'm saying this from experience. Having to install software just so this site is tolerable is preposterous. We all know why the ads are here now - that's been beaten to death and not worth getting into. I think most of the member's beef is the placement and the unrelated content. But, it is what it is. Some will leave, that's how it goes. As Corey says, don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

Do you browse with Firefox?
If so, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 I get no adds on YT, and significantly less on the WWW.

I get zero ads. Two ways to install it. Either right click an add and choose block, or when you first fire up the Fox, use the subscription pop up window and tick the first button. Quote:
And they have a lotta ads over there.

Hey! Corey is giving away the key to the castle. He's admin on a site that needs ad revenue to stay viable, yet he's telling everyone how to get rid of ALL the ads - including the google ads. so, if everyone there followed his
suggestions, then the site wouldn't make any money, and then the new owners wouldn't have any reason to keep paying for bandwidth w/o having any income to justify it. makes sense, doesn't it?

I don't ever get any pop-up adds here. Not once. Never.
I am a member of a bunch of on-line forums and I have seen a thousand of these fairwell speeches. I have always wondered why it seems appropriate. If I no longer wish to be a part of a forum for one reason or another, I just leave and don't come back. Maybe I'm missed, but probably not. Who cares? |

I have only been on here a few months but I have no idea what ads he is talking about. I have never had a single pop up ad or anything on this site. But even If i did get a couple pop ups now and again thats no reason to make such a huge deal out of it. Internet period has pop ups. Its not like this site is the only internet site with popups. They are verywhere. If it is that much of a deal to you. Just don't use the internet at all.

Most PC users who have been using the Internet know about ad blockers. Most run them, I am surprised you have not heard of them or ever ran one.
