whats up with this site? (popups)

#1 Unread post by nyrblue35 »

i love coming here but i really hate the annoying damn popups i get all the time from b.casalemedia, fastclick.net, tribalfusion, you name it. its NOT an issue of spyware as i wanted to be sure and recently built my laptop from scratch and this site was the first i came to before installing anything else. it dont matter what browser i use, its just this site in partucular i get popups.

do these companies pay TMW alot to advertise?

Current IE with all updates seems to take care of all of them for me. I also understand the board must pay the bills, I just prefer banner ads rather than pop-ups.

Just my opinion only
