    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.

    *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.

    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

    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 also am *still* getting the popups. Mainly for sweepstakes ads or speedyclick.com

    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.
