Everytime I visit the site now I'm getting 1-2 popups on about 1 out of every 8 pages. Please get rid of them, as they are extremely ANNOYING.

I haven't come across a pop up yet -- when did they start for you?

*please* let me know which ad pop up. Is it an ad on FlyCast? I have blocked flycast ads from doing that, so it really should not happen.

From what i can remember, it was some sort of sweepstakes thing...I'll let you know when it happens again...

Its good to know that you dont support these kind of ads...thanks Peo :D

Ok, just got another one:

From grab.com, with this content:
____
You've been selected to
Play for a Billion dollars!
(That's right, we said billion!)
____

Hehe...i think there is about the same chance of that happening as there is finding an unlimited host...hehe :)

I get pop-ups from grab.com and speedyclick.com... its not only on FWS.net but on almost any site using Flycast... what the heck is Flycast thinking?

Haven't seen that here but at devhelper it was happening and I emailed their webmaster. I wonder what flycast is thinking as well. Yes, we see the ad better, BUT...

I haven't seen any popups comming from this site... maybe it's browser targeted or something ?

I've been seeing this all over the web. I've seen it here durring the last week and I just got it when I was at NetMechanic. It is a real pain.. but I don't remember what it was for because the last thing I want to do is read it.

I've gotten them.

Its via the main site and not the forum (that I've noticed).

Grab.com and Speedyclick.com...

Very annoying! It pops up as a new browser.
