I have a suggestion about your site. How about getting rid of all that pop-up crap when you close a window. I don't know who runs this site but that is frickin ridiculous. Over 100 pop-ups.......what for? S&G's? That is absolutely terrible, not to mention it crashed my server at work.
Thanks alot

that has nothing to do with the site, at all...you have spyware on your computer. closing this forum doesnt trigger other windows to open.

some advice is to pay attention to what opens when you close this window, and to run a spyware cleanerprogram...

so does a proper hosts file as well as using firefox adblock and actually create a nice set of filters.
i dont have popups anymore, and I dont get many advertsing on 97% of sites anymore.

want to block alot of ads - download my personal hosts file. place file where your old one is-- read the hosts.text to see where., then remove the extention, backing up the old hosts by adding .bk or other extention

its about 320kb or something, truely worth a test anyways. you may result in alot of 'page cannot be displayed' for the ad pages, however that is only as you're not using the firefox popup and adblockers to their full capabilites.

download the hosts here

also for example of firefoxs' adblocks. i have 23003 ads blocked from autoforumuniverse.com/ads and i dont even go to afu....is DF using afu for advertising? the next closest adblock was 245, so almost 100x less ads than afu.
