Pop-ups suck

I just got this message when I tried to use NudeHost on TheHun. He brings up some very good points about using pop-ups and trapping surfers. It's bad for the future of the porn industry. I didn't know that NudeHost linked to a sponsor that traps surfers, but then I'm not in the habit of clicking on sponsor links.

You're using a sponsor that traps people on your site. this sponsor uses a program
that might be very good for them, but I think they're advertising ways are too
agressive. Click on a link to this sponsor and you'll be cought. Clicking back throws you
right back to the sponsor sometimes after popping up exit-consoles that open more
exit-consoles when you try to close 'em.

This will hurt the adult industry in the end. When a surfer is not interested (yet) in what
is offered he should be able to click back. Trapping him in an endless loop of consoles
is only going to piss the surfer off. When a surfer has this experience a couple of
times he will soon stop clicking any banners.

People should be tought that clicking banners brings 'em to stuff a free site could
never offer. they shouldn't be tought clicking on banners will result in an endless loop
of adds and consoles.
