I'm all about commerce, but what is this, a porn site? I've never seen so many pop-up ads in my life--my line can't take it either.

Same problem here...just started a little while ago for me. Every window click and even a refresh brings a new window. My task bar is being flooded.

I agree. I think the one ad that's causing all the trouble is this one:

JDTAY and I are morons. Just ask Chess, he'll tell you.

Arrghhh

never before have I wanted to complain so much (since I was lynched in mafia)

But was is goin on with these pop-up screens - if i get one more: http://nitrous.internetfuel.com/adconsoles/tmp.html

I'll go mad

I understand the need for revenue but not these repeated screens. Please the GL is one fo the few good sites around - lets not kill it with trash

my task bar has gone into infinite windows

I think the problem has been fixed. Although while it was happening, I just let the window stay open, minimized it, and let it do whatever it wanted to at the bottom of my screen.

Of course I use the connection here at work so it is pretty quick. It wasn't causing me problems...

yeah, what's this porn ad i'm hearing about? i always thought the point of interactive porn was to UNdress the girl, not the other way around... i could be confused...
i had *one* popup... but now, i always get the amnesty ad...

talk about poetic justice... i post this thing, and an ad pops up... lol...

It's back. I closed the window and turned to do some work. A while later I turn to my screen and see a half-dressed Christina Agulara. Not a great thing to have up at work...

well, so much for this place being an "intelligent" message board... thinking with the wrong brain there, thunder...

(of course, look who's talking... okay, ash, shut up...)

Luna · Goth Limey Chick

heheh... Merc, the ad I was talking about is a tiny little cartoon thing... not remotely porn-like... I have no problems with that... it´s the pop-up ones that crash my computer I don´t like =(

Doh, I was sure I'll be the first to bring it up. Minotaur, sponsorship problems can be easily solved by posting some message to the users and telling them you aren't getting enough clicks. It worked for theunderdogs.org, it worked for e-league.org, and I'm pretty sure it'll work here too. if it still doesn't work, just post some statistic on how many visitors compared to how many clicks the GL gets, and that is sure to solve it. Much better than going to the level of some 2nd rate warez site, IMO.
