2FastLX · 12-04-2001, 02:23 AM

I never thought I'd see the day.

Here's a URL I pulled from the ad. Is this for real? I only get them here.

Somebody else posted about this a couple days ago...Dan said that MW's advertising company is forcing the things to be included on the site....Dan also said he is looking for a new advertising company that will not require them.....THANKS DAN!!!

The popup ads aren't going to do much good if there isn't people here to read them. Not that I'd ever leave, but some people are anal about that chit.

Dan, smack some sense into whoever is behind this!

Yeah I noticed them too, but they're not half as bad as they could be. Still, would be nice to not have them. I'm not sure (IMO)though if it is my place to complain. If he is paying for the service, he should have the right to not have ANY ads that he doesn't want. If it is a free service to him, then, the company who provides it may require ads to pay for the "free"

service.

Hey 2Fast, I think the way you have your sig is kinda screwin the threads (makin them really wide).

I don't know what it is, but I've yet to see a popup come from Mustangworks. I'm not sure, maybe they have came up and I just closed it and never noticed. But if they are there I'm not minding them cause I'm hardly noticing them. Ya gotta understang guys, they gotta make there $$ somewhere. Maybe some alternative solutions would be just putting the banner on the page appose to a popup so it's not as annoying.

I have to say I have no problems with adds on the site, but the popups are just annoying and give it the feel of a warez or porn site.

I agree, they should go.

What, and miss those exciting pop-ups??? Think of the possibilities: now you don't have to leave the comfort of your own home to go shopping. Just sit back in you favorite chair and the best advertisements come directly into your home with only the click of a button! Don't worry, the advertisers know exactly what you want and gear their ads toward your personal needs. Just think about it: Sprint's long distant plan, only 7 cents/minute! WOW, WOW!!! WOW!!! "This long distance plan was made for you!!!!" ; Get your Platinum VISA now!!! WOW!! WOW!! ; And what about "Casino On Net!!!!!!!!!!!!" WOW! WOW! WOW! You get "20% bonus on your first deposit!" <------ See what I mean. You never know what you'll get! WOW!!!

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.

Don't worry, they know what's best... just let go and give in to the fasinating world of pop-ups. It's fun, free, and delightful. and did I forget to mention, the advertisers are just so considerate of people who browse the internet. They bring their ads to you so that all you have to do is just click, now isn't that sweeeeeet. Aaaaaaw... They need your money, so share it with them. Come on, have a change of heart and share you money........
