HELP!! ad killer
 

Hi I got a program for a while ago that killed all ad when I surf the net, I lost it. It had a green triangle. I sold my old computer and fogot to copy in in to the "new" computer. Please tell me where I can download it, again. It's not Ad-Aware!!
Thanks :(

Re: HELP!! ad killer
 

Blocking ads is akin to stealing. Most sites support themselves through banner ads. By blocking those ads, you're freeloading their content and leeching their server resources and bandwidth.

... and animated banners and popus are anoying and a terrible unfriendly slap in the face of fair users. PS: I think Promoxitron is the name of the app.

Have you total lost you frecking mind. Or ... are you just so dumb??? :( If I buy a newpaper do I have to read the ad? NO!!! I paying to conect to the internet I do NOT required to have stupid ad on my computer... So Don't give me that crock.
Is that what is going in to your "new"clients... AD? If we are not using your client we are stealing from you?
Is that what you are saying to the Gnutella user? :rolleyes: If you blocking ad you are stealing!! CycloCide, Get a life!!! :mad:
But Don't worry someone did send the website in a e-mail and the name is Proxomitron This program is great, it kill ALL ADS and other stuff that you do not like. Get it, if nothing els to pioff CycloCide. ;)

Do not insult me


If you buy a newspaper, you don't have to look at the ads, but the advertisers still pay for them. When you block banner ads, advertisers don't pay for them. Your analogy doesn't work.


I have no interest in developing a client; I run web sites. By blocking the ads on these web sites, you're freeloading content and consuming server resources and bandwidth. If you don't understand this simple concept, then maybe you should get a life.


Do I look like I'm joking about this? I'm dead serious

RealBigSwede just showed her real colors.
CycloCide runs this place and you are his guest, if you had a clue you wouldn't have insulted him.

Go get Mozilla you stupid microsoft IE users. Why are you still using microsoft products? What the hell is wrong with you?

With Mozilla you can selectively allow ads on sites like this where you want to help support them. You can shut off pop ups and other NASTY microsoft FORCED ON YOU crap, why you are still using IE is beyond me, except that you are locked into microsoft blinder vision and are computer LAME.

Mooo, mooo all the other cows are doing it......

ADS STEALING server resources and bandwidth
 

You know... from here I can feel the intensity of love in this thread..... OK I can feel the intensity of something....:)

Any Volunteers Yet ???
 

I seem to recall someone asking if the users of Gnutella Forums would like to pay the telephone bill for CycloCide...

Any takers, yet ?

p.s.
That's shift, Peerless.... shift
LOL

Hello!

Well it seems that all the fuzz in this thread is originating from a misconception between RealBigSwede and CycloCide the system administrator.

Personally I think it is Okay to block Pop Up adds on sites that uses them especially multiple Pop Ups are hated.Pop Up adds must be the single most hated phenomena on the Internet it is close to user terrorism and they do not do no one any good.Not the users that will get very slow surf speeds and alot of irritating windows to close and not the companys that uses them because the users(visitors) hates them they will get irritated towards the companys that uses them so their brand name will suffer from it.Conclusion no one benefits from them they are just harmfull and I have a hard time believing that CycloCide actually likes them so I thinks that it is OK to block those *******s(Pop Up's).

What I do not think is Ok is to block Banner adds.The reason is because they are not as harmfull nor irritating as Pop Ups and yeat they are the ones that pay us visitors.The payment is the ability for us visitors to freely(for free) visit for instance a newspapers web site.If many users start to block those adds then the willingness amongst advertisers to pay for advertisment severly diminishes and we the users will suffer from it because alot more sites would start to charge us money instead and I and most others do not want that.These are the types of Adds that I think CycloCide are reffering to when he states that he do not like add aware software.But I do not think that he has anything against blocking of Pop Up's surely he must hate them just as anyone else does.

I dont mind banners, they dont bother me much as long as they keep this forum alive ;)

And...

Your garbage Proxomitron is going to eliminate what you do not want BEFORE you get it ?
Gosh... Really ? Hey, Real BS, check out what else this 'little' app does to your system... LOL

Tell you what, RealBigSwede...

The entire p2p world awaits YOUR site...

Publish the details here, free of charge, of course.

Got the message?

I say these things because, obviously, an intelligent person does not continuously proffer the same argument, but, instead, goes OUT and PROVES their ability to do better...

I can't wait, "Real BS"... I'll even be a moderator for you, as long as Iain can join me...

"I raise you and I call you..."

Up to you now, Really BS...

'urs the curse'

when you try to look wise don't laugh about something you don't know.

web washers like Proxomitron exactly do what you laugh about, they prevent loading of banners. and yes Proxomitron is spyware free. A little Google would have helped you and you looked better when you posted less.

PS: understand how http and image formats work... or simply try a web washer. you'll be suprised how much faster page loading is and how clean web pages can look without disturbing ads. no more annoying blinking banners, no more popups.

Re: ADS STEALING server resources and bandwidth
 

You do realize that ad revenue is usually the primary source of revenue for these content providers, right?


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

There's really no reliable way to detect if people are blocking ads. If there was, a lot of publishers would be using it.

I don't particularly like pop-ups, but if sites depend on them for revenue, then so be it. I'm not blocking them.

For those of you that are blocking them, you're hurting the sites that are running them, not the advertisers.

This forum isn't going anywhere. It doesn't cost much to maintain compared to other sites.

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 :)

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.
