get firefox

Pete-KT · 08-25-2005, 08:08 AM

GFY doesnt have popups, most likely your computer got adware on it. run a adremovedr program and see what you get then

brand0n · 08-25-2005, 08:08 AM

i dont see a fucking thing

candyflip · 08-25-2005, 08:09 AM

Someone already said it...

yys · 08-25-2005, 08:21 AM

It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't pop every time you opened gfy. Kinda gets annoying after the 10th time.

pawsregd · 08-25-2005, 08:23 AM

It is a bit annoying but this site is here to make money from ads

yes it does!

I have firefox but was using opera at the time. I don't see why I should have to use a different browser because the forum is using fuked up advertising tactics!

So from that statement we can all assume that you aren't actually a webmaster?

I'm the one that send George $$$ every month for the signup's he send our sites. that is who

you said he wasn't a webmaster, and I replied that he is - that all..

Make it into a cockfight if you want, that just makes you look even more like a ass

Again, I don't know who you or what you run. Therefore I couldn't care less about what you have to say. I still say the guy acts like a crybaby surfer.

EroticySteve · 08-25-2005, 09:07 AM

Frankly I don't care if the ad is there or not. I just close it and move on, no drama.

I think it's an extremely ineffective ad though. It will annoy more than it will entice.

Murderous · 08-25-2005, 09:07 AM

I agree... popups suck and having to use different browsers or download special blockers and other crap is unnecessary. I understand that the board needs to make money, as I am sure it makes WAY more than it costs to run. So why have it if this is the only things that come from it.

1. Users with certain browsers cannot view the board comfortably (without feeling invaded by advertising)
2. Users get pissed off.
3. Users shut them off or use blockers or browsers to avoid them anyway.
4. The board makes enough money from other advertising tactics.
5. Slows the loading.
6. Pisses off users.
7. Pisses off users.

I haven't seen a single banner ad, button or popup on GFY in over 6 months thanks to firefox, adblock and turning off sigs. Since the powers that be here seem to have no interest in telling an advertiser "no" I decided to do it for them. I don't mind ads as long as they aren't overly intrusive (sounds, popups, etc). This is a webmaster board. We're not a bunch of idiotic surfers (well, SOME of us aren't idiotic surfers). Having ads like that tossed at me like I am a common AOL user pisses me the fuck off.

I am in 100% agreement with all of your points Murderous!

I would say that gfy is not struggling to make ends meet too. The use of these ads is very annoying. The banners with the sounds are bad enough but this is just infuriating!

How much is too much in regards to advertising? Especially on a webmaster board? Where most would never pay any attention to a popup ad.

I got pretty good at finding that little white "X" on that yellow background though.

Also, i didn't see it when I came in this time.

DarkJedi · 08-25-2005, 10:01 AM

I got that pop-up once.

Yeah, I was JUST thinking that 90% of the folks here don't see it because they never leave the site. You must leave in order to return.
