"Please stop the Superstar pop-ups"

Posted by rjrabbit on 05-15-04 at 05:46 PM
I don't mind the superstar ad at the top of the screen but every time I change boards or post, a superstar pop-up comes up. I've closed about 10 of them since I logged on.

They are annoying. I've found if you leave Superstar and Weatherbug up but buried behind the page, they stop picking on you eventually.

Yes, clicking them off is a bit annoying. I think of it as a small price to pay for Webby getting such great new paying ads.

I'd rather click off an ad window than have to pay to be here.

Did anyone but me click the link?
The premise of this show is terrible, but the preview clips are hysterically funny. I may have to take a look at a show I may never have watched, ( or heard of) if not for the pop up ads.

I don't mind clicking them off, I hope they are paying well.

This site isn't free, Webby pays for it, the advertisments fund our addiction to Reality TV and all the great forums here.

I support the use of ads, and hope that this site makes money for it's owner.

That's what I was thinking, Buggy. We've been told before that the message board section of RTVWorld.com costs Webby money, and it's the news page that evens the cost all out.

Yes, the Superstar add is annoying. I don't click the X, but it always seems to refresh and move to the front of the OT window. However, I can deal with it. 5 extra clicks. That's it.

By the way, thanks Webby for balancing the popups well! I've read some sites where the popups are out of control. I spend more time clicking 'em than reading.

I don't mind it popping up when I refresh, but it is a little weird that it shows up when I try to post.
