All the green URLs invading WP text

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone else think all these new green URL's all over everything are flaming corny?

Yeah, I've seen ads like that before on IGN... I find them to be very irritating for some reason

I don't like them, either.

I wondered if it was WP or my computer. I had spyware one time that did that to every website I visited, but I couldn't find anything that looked like spyware this time. I was gonna ask if anyone else here was seeing it...

Actually, it's very annoying.

Why were the ads installed in the first place? It's a forum, that's not supposed to happen, is it? They're taking our words and putting them into other people's mouths. That sucks.

You can opt-out of the ads if you like.

So how do You do that?

I am not going to like this at all.

How? Please tell us. It's not under my profile. Gotta say the ads are making me come here less and less often.

I assume that you probably have to pay to get rid of ads. I would, but we're low on money right now and my dad's trying to save money so I can get a dragon fursuit built.

I was really offended just now - I was reading a post where somebody is feeling suicidal, and at least two of his words in his post were green/ads. There's something wrong with that. I'm out of here till this is gone.

All of these ads are really irritating. It's gone too far in my opinion. WP is supposed to be about the members, not the ads. It needs to stop.

Yup. Forget it. Last straw...

Peace.

It's been nice meeting you all.

I think this site is heading in the WrongDirection.

I don't see what the big deal is. I've been *very* helpful in listening to suggestions and complaints. What makes you think I won't do so about intellitext?

Something has to pay the bills. If you ran a site this size you'd realize how expensive it is to do so. I'm more than willing to remove ads that people find offensive. I'm really upset that people would be so quick to walk out the door without even listening to me.

I won't be leaving, Alex. I like the forums but I don't like the ads. I will just put up with them even though they are annoying.

I hope too many people don't leave, I think it really just didn't occur to Alex that it would annoy people that much. I agree that they are intrusive, but as he said he's listened to people before and thats why 90% of the lewd ads are gone now.

Run firefox with popup blocker.

If your running windows xp go to control panel,
internet options,
privacy tab
and check popup blocker at the bottom.

I have no ads that pop up on this site. I only see one at the top and one along the left side.
