Back when IE's biggest competition was Netscape Navigator... Popup Ads were a plague. Then when Broadband started appearing in everyone's home, they put audio in them. "CONGRATULATIONS!

Seems to me it's less his fault and more the fault of the shitty people who took what he did and used it for nefarious purposes.
What about the guy who invented pop-unders?
[QUOTE=NA_PREDATOR;45706318]how could someone disagree with that fact[/QUOTE] By pressing a button on an internet forum that looks like the following: [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/cross.png[/img]
I can't decide if I hate pop up ads or ads that just say "Download" on a download website. Both don't cause a problem because I'm not a moron, but they're just annoying.

To be fair though, advertising is a major component in what keeps the internet free. I don't mind a little ad in order to support the website/game/etc. Its just when they get annoying like with pop ups that it's a problem. I'm glad that adblock has a whitelisting program for that purpose.

[QUOTE=SexualShark;45715059]hot ebony midgets in ___________ find one near you![/QUOTE] I've gotten side-ads like that before before getting Adblock that would say shit like "40 women in Saint Vrain want to meet YOU!" [t]http://i.imgur.com/qiUWz8e.jpg[/t] This is literally ALL of Saint Vrain.
