No complain from me Buck, I'm kind of used to pop-ups from other sites, and anything to help the site is fine with me.

It's not annoying at all, Buck.Originally posted by Buck Satan:

I would never use a product like that.Originally posted by Buck Satan:
<STRONG>Since I'm on both ends of the spectrum - a web surfer and webmaster, I can understand why someone would use software to kill "annoying" ads, yet I also see their severe detriment to the web.Originally posted by rapier:

In a world of rapidly declining internet revenue, people who use ad killers are only shooting themselves in the foot, in my opinion. As more people use them, sites like GameBanshee will be unable to pay their bills. Therefore, the only alternative will be charging money for the site or closing down. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather surf a site and get free content with a few ads then pay a monthly charge for every site I want to visit. And who wants a good site to shut down? That doesn't help anyone.
It's really a shame that the internet is in the predicament that it is. And it's an even bigger shame that companies are making money selling software that kills ads and basically steals money from hardworking webmasters.[/QB]
Eh, on some sites 5 more pop-ups open when you close one...Originally posted by ThorinOakensfield:

How bad can pop ups be?
You just lick the "x" and thats it or you check out the link.</STRONG>
Yes they do. And I will use a pop-up killer on any site that tries this with me. One I can handle, but when I close it out, I don't 5 or more opening.Originally posted by rapier:

There are other ways to keep the site up besides pop-up's....This is why I'm being so difficult.Originally posted by ThorinOakensfield:
<STRONG>Man, why do people have to be so difficult. If they want the site to stay than go with the pop ups.</STRONG>
