View Full Version : Pop Ups....Again
gonzo_for_civ Aug 06, 2002, 04:43 PM So, how many of you have been the 10,000,000th person to visit this site :rolleyes:
I've seen three pop-ups today alone. Maybe TF should have another talk with our beloved host, TeleFragged.
Is anyone else seeing these or is it just me!??!?
Flatlander Fox Aug 06, 2002, 04:45 PM They are tolerable. There is always one or two, but once you are in the forum, it's o.k.
Magnus Aug 06, 2002, 04:47 PM That exact pop-up just appeared while I was reading gonzo's post - how eerie!
Ohwell Aug 06, 2002, 05:15 PM I saw that popup... did anyone dial the number? :lol:
Sodapop Aug 06, 2002, 05:19 PM So... Does that mean we all clicked the site at the same moment??? :eek:
So yes, I got them as well, though they don't appear so often. But I don't get how they can believe people will actually win something because they are the 10 000 000 th, while people obviously know they aren't :lol:
dannyevilcat Aug 06, 2002, 05:30 PM I just got them also. Buggers!
Sodapop Aug 06, 2002, 05:40 PM I got a new one, different from the first... Are they really coming back??? Anything from telefragged on this? I wish we won't have to deal with them once again :(
damunzy Aug 06, 2002, 06:01 PM I got the 10Kth winner one also....hey, I feel lied to!! Can we sue over this? ;)
And I didn't go to the main site, just the forum, and straight here to complain. :D
Chieftess Aug 06, 2002, 06:18 PM I got one with an awkward number: 2,325,143,123 (something like that). They're getting desperate! hehe...
gonzo_for_civ Aug 06, 2002, 07:12 PM I just was selected to take a 5 question survey and get a 115$ package for it or something like that.
This sucks!
"Theeeeyyy'rreeee baaaaaackkk"
Knight-Dragon Aug 06, 2002, 07:22 PM I didn't see any pop-ups...... :D I hope I won't. Ever.
King of Camelot Aug 06, 2002, 07:27 PM Kill Those Popups!!!!! Equip every CFCer against these popups!!! We will not tolerate CFCers harboring popups!!!!

I saw that one too, but mine was 3 questions ;)
And I just got that 1,000,000 visitor one for the 6th time! :eek:
Next we will getting porn popups! ;)
Becka Aug 06, 2002, 07:42 PM I've gotten it twice. Glad I'm not the only one. :satan:
gonzo_for_civ Aug 06, 2002, 08:10 PM I hope we get porn popups!!! Just kidding ;)
I don't mind the popups now, I just got one that'll surely help me find my past classmates. Wow! These are great /tongue in cheek

You bet :p
Maybe this is a consequense of custom avatars... :satan: Telefragged is getting back at us for using their bandwith... :crazyeye:
gonzo_for_civ Aug 06, 2002, 08:20 PM We can always buy more bandwith if we just get visa cards, platinum in fact. Just got an advertisement for those too.
This is getting a little odd.
Now if they offer some ping pong paddles I won't be so mad.
:D
gonzo_for_civ Aug 06, 2002, 08:38 PM Quick! What's the name of Ozzy Osbourne's wife????? I need to know so I can win my prize!!!!!
Ok, I'm done posting different advertisements. These things suck!

What is James Bond's number? Quick! :lol:
Thunderfall Aug 06, 2002, 09:24 PM I'll contact Telefragged about that. I also saw 1 or 2 popups on the forum...
gonzo_for_civ Aug 06, 2002, 09:26 PM Good thinking TF!!! BTW, did you know Bonds' number isn't 004??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
WTF!!!!
starlifter Aug 07, 2002, 03:43 AM It's good to hear you all are getting popups (well, in a way), since it means my anti-popup software must be doing its job (I have not seen a popup) :). (I still use the 3 yr old AtGuard 3.22 program).
spycatcher34 Aug 07, 2002, 06:39 AM I thnik I got a popup a while back don't remember but I did get redirected to that vacation site......
Padma Aug 07, 2002, 07:28 AM I just got the first pop-up I've seen on the forums. I bypass the main page and go directly to the forums from work (shhh - don't tell my boss :satan: ). I've never seen the popups here before, just on the main page.
Crap! I just got another one when I submitted this post! :aargh:
Padma Aug 07, 2002, 08:47 AM Within the last 15 minutes or so (about the same time the text turned white) I have started receiving popups every time I open a new page in the forums. Very annoying! (I'm getting very tired of the popup for fullsail.com! :aargh3: )
Becka Aug 07, 2002, 08:53 AM Here's a picture of it- http://members.lycos.co.uk/delcarmen/odd.jpg
It's related to that Full Sail pop up. I get that pop up EVER SINGLE TIME I click on ANYTHING. EVERYTIME!!!!
disorganizer Aug 07, 2002, 08:55 AM i also get the popup and the white text on every click thru the forum. very annoying.
Civanator Aug 07, 2002, 08:59 AM yup. me two. I was replying to a thread and everything was fine, but after i replied i thought i went BLIND! nothing would show until i took a closer look. we could Bold everything. that might show in black.
Civanator Aug 07, 2002, 08:59 AM never mind, even bold shows up white. dang......
disorganizer Aug 07, 2002, 09:00 AM no. it just shows in bold white.
Pillager Aug 07, 2002, 09:02 AM Use a colour
Sodapop Aug 07, 2002, 09:15 AM Hmmmmmmmmmm seems like it's back once again. How much time have you already told telefragged not to put pop-ups on the fora??? Must be like the 3rd or 4th time. When will they learn? :mad:
ainwood Aug 07, 2002, 09:19 AM And at the bottom of every page, I seem to have a rather large image area (with a broken link - just a red X in the corner). It is actually a link to Telefragged's homepage.
baseballtwin86 Aug 07, 2002, 09:21 AM Good observation ainwood. This is really weird. And it keeps getting weirder.
Gastric ReFlux Aug 07, 2002, 09:23 AM Aaaaaarrrggggh!
Padma Aug 07, 2002, 09:24 AM At least I'm now seeing something besides fullsail.com! Woohoo! I can win a trip to Universal Studios, with Gary Coleman as my persoanl guide!
Ahh, and finally a game-related one, at least: I can order Icewind Dale II Collector's Edition, for a limited time only!
:grumble: These things are getting soooo annoying! Every click-thru I make! :grumble:
Gastric ReFlux Aug 07, 2002, 09:31 AM Gary Coleman was _The_ popup of children's actors.
Padma Aug 07, 2002, 09:43 AM Right now, I'm guessing that that big empty box at the bottom of the page is where these "pop-ups" are supposed to go, and somebody f***ed-up the implementation.
Alcibiaties of Athenae Aug 07, 2002, 09:50 AM First the white, and now pop-ups!
This is unreal today.
Ohwell Aug 07, 2002, 10:10 AM Well, our black text is back and the popups have subsided, but I feel it will come back.
