Yeah, I noticed that Mozilla displayed the "Popups blocked" picture in the status bar when browsing the site... but thankfully didn't get to see them :)

Long live Mozilla (along with Opera and Safari) and its/their popup blocking!

Sorry guys! Things are tight right now and we need every little bit of money we can scrounge up. :(

I understand the hardship in the advert world... just I'm too sick of dealing with pop-ups in general. Maybe there is a way to do user-sponsored text-based ads a-la Kuro5hin.

the pop-ups should be once per session (2 popups total)

Word...i love my Firebird....though the new Google Toolbar Beta has a nice popup blocker, it's what I put on the IE machines at work.

You might consider, getting into the affiliate programs with those sites we patronize most. Then if someone is going to buy something to have them go thru this site.
You have done it with 1 company, why not a few more.
Im not looking for a new girl/boy/dog friend, and I really dont need to see all those Yuppies from old, as I already signed up with them. And as for cheap air fare, LOL, I just flap hard and pray.

I REALLY miss the OLD internet... If ya had a server you could just jump online with it. NOT now tho. It costs LOTS of money.

yeah, you would not believe our server bill or the bandwidth we go through.

I hate pop-unders as well, but like I said every little bit is helping us to keep this site alive.

If we offered ad free subscription services would people pay? I hate those personally.

What if we put a Paypal link on the front page and turned off pop-unders? I wonder if people would donate or not.

Good, try these:
As for my ancestors, WHO wants to know they are related to Genghis Ghan, jack the ripper, martha stewart, or Nick grigich(sp).
Leraning over the net, LMAO.
Pay bills on the net, NEVER. I would never put that info on my system, no matter HOW safe THET say it is.
Loans off the net? try it you'll like it. Says every mafia boss in NY.
