    Actually, not to draw 'attention' to me, or make anyone joelous, but I don't get pop-up ad's on these boards.

    I mean, yes I have before but there aren't many, and I never know if it comes directly from the JC.

    And I don't have a link to them, because I always exit them when (if) they come up. I will try and add a link if one 'pops' up anytime soon ;)

    It's BYOB's sick idea of a joke. Anyone who posts here automatically get popped.

    I still haven't had a pop-up. I can't help but feel somewhat left out.

    What in the world would you want to do that for? You might as well be running AOL! [face_barf]

    How about we setup a group in community to see if 1 in 100 actually do win.

    Then if 1 out of 100 doesn't win, we get the website shut down. Evil popup bastards.

    Popups? I don't even get the banners since the Moulin Rouge banner was removed.

    Popup Killer is great, but it never gets tested here, so...

    I've been getting the pop-up too. Maybe all those paranoid newbies who are claiming that the JC is putting spyware on their computer after they visited all those porn sites are on to something...

    It's the ad banner up top that sets the popup off.

    I've clicked the banner and signed up to do the surveys. This one was about new TV shows that are debuting this fall. Maybe I'll win $100?

    I'm glad I found this thread. I was thinking of making my own on this topic, then figured naw, someone would say it's not appropriate for JC. :p

    It's good to know lots of others are ticked off about pop-ups. They've gotten so much worse the past year alone. Now the official site and TFN are doing them. :(

    Irony: since I posted in this thread, I haven't received one pop-up. :p



    What's even more ironic is that as soon as I said that, I got a pop-up. THEY'RE READING MY POSTS OMG!!11!!21!!1!!
