Less popups now on Total Motorcycle

Yes, I know, you don't like popups, well, surprise, neither do it. :mrgreen:

So I wanted to let all our members and visitors know that today I've deactivated a couple dozen ad popups. Yes, that means we STILL have popups, but just fewer of them.

I was able to do this thanks to the donations of members last month. $156 dollars were raised which went a long way in getting rid of popups for this month. :D

If popups bother you too, please remember they are a necessary evil that help pay the bills to keep the site running. I hope to remove all the popups one day on TMW and I'm working towards that with the help of Site Supporters. :D

Thank you for your support.

Mike


P.S. If you want to reply to this post, PLEASE don't complain that there are ads on Total Motorcycle, I know there are ads on Total Motorcycle. :laughing: I'm working to get rid of as many annoying ones as possible, so do considering becoming a site supporter. :D

Mike? I don't get any pop ups from this site. There are no ads anywhere either.

The only thing I see that might be an ad is this thing at the top that says "Register, Shop & Bid on eBay:"

werd.

just wondering, how much is it to run a site like this?

Every time I return to the home page I hear another "You have been selected to receive an I-pod Nano". The second time I hear it twice. The third time it's three voices. The forth time it's a freaking chorus.

If you don't see any pop ups, the chances are that you have a pop up blocker running. When you do that, it takes away from the income Mike receives that pays for this site.... :roll:

I've specifically allowed popups from this site and this site only. I was wondering why I wasn't getting as many today as I usually do... Usually if I'm in a hurry to check something I just close them down, but every once in a while I click through just to give extra profits to Mike... I really do appreciate how much he works to give us this site, and I'd hate to see it go down!
