Hey folks,

As many of you have told us over the years, you hate popup advertising. We don't blame you, so do we. Unfortunately though, they have been an important component of keeping the site free for everyone to use.� That having been said though, I am happy to announce that we have found an alternative. As such, we are pulling popup advertising from the site, effective immediately.

We will be replacing popup and popunder ads with less invasive interstitial and preloader ads.� These won't pop anything strange up on your computer, and I think you'll find them a lot less annoying and intrusive.� I wish we could say we don't need the ads at all, but they do help support the site.

Platinum and Diamond members will be able to bypass these new ads by setting their ad preferences to block popups.� We will be reworking the tools to make things more clear in the near future, but in the mean time this method will work to block them for those of you who don't want to see those new ads.

It may take 24 hours or so for all the popup campaigns to completely disappear, but by this time tomorrow we should be popup free!

Thanks for the ongoing support!

Case
