I've only had a free T35 account for about a month now, but just recently the new pop-up box ads have gotten really annoying. When I first joined, there was just a pop-up window, which wasn't too bad considering that it wouldn't come up every time you went to page, just once in a while. Then for a while there were no ads at all, which was great but unrealistic lol, but now there are these pop-up boxes, asking if I want to download anti-spyware software. Not only are these more annoying, like the fact that clicking "Okay" does just as much as "Cancel", but these pop-up everytime I visit a page on my webspace. I guess maybe I should consider upgrading to premium webspace, but this is just a horrible way to treat free customers.

Well its not as bad as when they had the one that everyone thought was a virus but wasnt, and if you didnt click ok your website would not come up. but hay, like darkness said it only comes up every 48 hours and if thats it its better then haveing a stupid add come up every time is it not?

If t35 gets better offers on adds then maby the admin will take it away.

No matter what ads we use, someone will not be happy. I just remember the uproar about using pop-ups 3 years ago...

With everyone blocking pop-ups, to an extent that we are down several thousand dollars for free hosting for this month alone, this is the best solution we have.

Its not permenent, but is going to stay for the next 6 days. Its not working out too well for the anti-spyware company, so i am guessing 6 days is all it will be.

Yes they are annoying but hey as long as they don't apear everytime I visit the Home Page then there not that bad.


But if they ever make it so everytime you go to your home page you see it then that would be something I would hate and would move to a new hoster but there not doing that so ok.

I would like the code they are using for it cause I want to have one enabled like that on my forums could someone post it here?

stofke... from my experience visitors like these more then pop-ups, since this only appears on entrance and never again. In fact, i have had emails from customers thanking me for the free software.

As for sites linking to you as "virus.." I don't see where you are getting that? Even if a spyder like google indexes your site they will never index anything inside tags... and thats where the code is.

They are probaly getting that from there computer because I had spyware on mine and everytime I went to a website it said download this program now to display this site correctly. I never did but I would amagine it is coming from their comp.

I don't complain about the ads and everyone should not be.  You are using thier services without even having to pay any cent.  It's just fair for them to place those ads besides the ads are not that so annoying they only appear once every 48 hours. Accept it, nowadays commercials and ads are now a part of internet and even in the future. You can even find some good deals and oppotunities with these ads.  Still, if you really get annoyed about the ads then you can go for a paid hosting or you can get yourself some popup blockers or stop using the internet.
