If you think it annoys you, think about how annoyed the surfer is.
I'm at the point I will no longer actively promote any sponsor who uses exit consoles period. I have seen a few even cheat & put a fucking popup console on a FHG & the console was in front of the FHG. that pissed me off, so I dropped them. I even noticed using epiccash, supposedly you can select console free, which I did, but sure enough ended up with a train of 20+ consoles on what was supposed to be a console free tour.
