NiGHTMARE Posted September 7, 2001 Just now when I refreshed the main DW page, a pop up window for a porn page appeared, Deep Oral or something. wtf? 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted September 7, 2001 Really? I find that hard to believe... maybe it was one of those delayed-timer popups, which do exist. Basically it's a hidden window which has a timer to pop up an ad a few minutes after it's spawned, in order to disguise where it's originating from. 0 Share this post Link to post

Super-Joe Posted September 7, 2001 finally the reason ling is so secretive about the doomworld forum and the cyberdeamon image thing has surfaced. 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted September 7, 2001 Lut: actually, the only sites I had visited before DW were Team Shambler (on Planet Quake), Planetarion and Doom Center. Prior to that my computer was turned off... 0 Share this post Link to post

Naked Snake Posted September 7, 2001 Some programs you instal have other programs installed that are just sponsor ads. I installed a mp3 search prog and kept getting pop-ups. I got rid of it and then never got a pop-up unless I went to a site with one. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted September 7, 2001 that has also happened to me. once i went to www.3ddownloads.com and ended up at a asian porn site. another time i clicked the fourms link and ended up in a porn gallery of gillian anderson, scully from x-files. this must be related to this POS computer. A good cache clearing can fix such odd problems. my dad looks at a shit load of porn so i got to clear the cache every time i get on here. plus they leav this oldy on all week so it gets a bit wierd too. and that keyboard is gross and sticky, how it got that way i dont want to know lets hope it was just a bunch of pop and snak food 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted September 8, 2001 Yeah, I saw those...minimized no matter what until the time expires and they show up. Those freak me out, makes me wonder if IE crashed or something like that. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted September 8, 2001 i hate when you click a link, not always porn, and it brings up a ton of those popups. sites like geosites and homstead do that and it pisses me off 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted September 8, 2001 Oh, but those are NOTHING compared to the infamous Flash ad, wich never shows up until it's done downloading, wasting your precious bandwidth. 0 Share this post Link to post
læmænt Posted September 8, 2001 It's not the flash ad that is bad, it's the browser... 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted September 8, 2001 Oh, and how about the sites with "I HAVE <ALWAYS ON TOP> ACTIVATED UNTIL IT FINISHES DOWNLOADING"!?!? 0 Share this post Link to post
læmænt Posted September 8, 2001 A problem with the browser again; it shouldn't be allowed to do that. 0 Share this post Link to post
deadnail Posted September 8, 2001 Forced on top banners? Its called alt-f4 nimrod. 0 Share this post Link to post
stphrz Posted September 8, 2001 There should still be a fucking law against those things. Capital punishment is appropriate. Yes I think so :P 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted September 8, 2001 Why the hell don't browsers have an option to disable pop-ups? 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted September 8, 2001 Cause those people dont think things through. 0 Share this post Link to post
