V1.20 has Advertising and it SUCKS
 
DO NOT USE version 1.20 unless you have no other choice - it has ADVERTISING BUILT IN AND YOU CANNOT TURN IT OFF AND IT F***ING SUCKS.

I see someone let loose the unregistered troll again.

I have never seen an ad on XoloX version 1.20 nor had any other problems with it. So disreguard the unregistered troll's comments.

Hey Ironman I think he means the adverts/banners you see when viewing the discussion boards, as well the full page ones that occassionally appear when you hit a hyperlink. I've seen some adverts a couple of times when trying to view hyperlinks. For me though its no big deal a few adverts here and there doesn't hurt once in awhile, I just ignore the stuff :p

btw, this is how XoloX supports itself and stays alive with the few adverts/banners it displays. I now there is a way of elinimating the adverts/banners if you understand what your Windows Host File function can do ;)

dude calm down its okay! unless you personally are a millionare, and can pay out of pocket for xolox's development, i am sorry to say that you have no say whether or not ads will run.

also, instead of out-right complaining and using foul language to get your point across, try asking a simple question. youll find it much more productive in the long run.

just fyi: the 'full' page adverts you get from pages *OUTSIDE* the xolox site are usually just a normal pop-up's the XoloX browser catches and makes a new tab within xolox. Its actually better for surfing the web ( including this forum) the way it catches the popups since they are easier to close

OMG, it has ads? You mean those little flashy things way up in the corner? Hmmm, I hadn't thought about them much.

The way I figure (bring on the hate mail...) is Xolox not only rocks, it's free, the music sharing is free, and I get to respond to stupid posts like this just for FUN! So, not only have I registered my Xolox for free, saving bucks, and not spent a ton of money on new CD's (yet), I get to open my big ol' mouth without getting my *** kicked in person.

Seems perfect to me :p

Well, you gotta love the ones who are blinded from reality. Programs cost money -- meaning, either 1. Users buy the program or 2. The program is supported by ads. Which is better?

XoloX's ads are non-intrusive and arent based on third party programs.

Well advertising yourself is kinda stupid.What if this site had a whole bunch of gnutellaforum banners?That would be stupid:P:rolleyes:
