I dont block the ads, too much time to do, but I do kill the hell out of pop-ups, so far my pop-up killer has killed over 7,000 pop-up windows, it doesn't block then it just kills them once they load, no harm done.

Killing popups is something else.
Popups can be really annoying. If you use Opera you can disable Javascript and Popups, if you are surfing on low bandwidth you can even shut off the grafix.

Opera is cool and ad supported :)

I used to have a prog called 'addsubtract'.. something like that. But after a while, you had to fork out for the prog and what I didn't know was, after a certain amount of time it ceased to work and completely jammed up my internet connection. So I removed it and I was connected right away.

Now I'm not bothered about replacing it, I can live without it and banner adds are no problem. As for popups, they are a pain, but I don't tend to visit sites that use them, not by choice, just by accident. :)

Kath: I'm not visiting porn sites.... :eek: , its evil!

They're not using our server resources or bandwidth. They're being served by an ad network.

I had a couple of site myself and I did not have ads on them. I think if you have a site, don't try to stuff visitors with ads, they have come to see your site and not all this ads and popup. :)
Yes that is maby true, but it effects my download time. And I don't get payed to sitting and waiting for the ads to be loaded on my screen. ;)

Well, if there were no ads you would be sitting in front of a empty homepage telling you that you got a 404 error.
Without ads the server wouldnt be able to be maintained.
Also CC has to eat something, he's no robot. Even robot need electricity (which is money)
