What is up with all the pop up ads? - Page 2

PM popups I need not,
Since I get a Y!M email popup instead
Whenever I get PMed

How about the most irritating one of all?
Loading, say it, with no 'X' to close it and make it fall.
When loading is done,
Beginning is the fun.
From my dear computer, it has caused me to run.

A software plugin offer awaits.
Over its merit I offer no debate.
Crappy it is, yet more ads it spawns.
ao.lop.com it sends to us, we silly little pawns.

This is where the ALT F4
Or the more powerful CTRL W
Comes in handy

Having tried CTRL + W
And knowing the function of ALT + F4
Put forth to you this query, I do
What makes CTRL + W's power more?

Ya I ahve noticed these pop up's too and they quite frankly p*** me off as they slow down my computer like hell and in many cases forced me to restart my computer. I just find my self coming to EoFF less and less with my computer restarting more and more *kicks ads* DIE SPAWN OF EVILNESS!

Actually a good soultion is to put the pop ups only on one page and only when you go to that page opposed to the nearly every single page of the site.

It's more powerful for me
Because ALT F4 is disabled on my PC
(ALT F4 being my Winamp script trigger)

*is really annoyed with that "search" pop-up right now*

I hate these things. Especially the ones that wont let you close them. Who the hell do these people think they are to not let me close a window? Grr!
