Tranceaddict does not show respect to surfers

Today when I was about to enter the site I was not alloed to because I had a Popup blocker on my computer and with that turned on I wasnot allowed to enter the site. And there was a comment like "we have to make money from this site"or so. Personally I dont care about popups, I think popups is a nasty way to earn money. What the fuck do you think, just because I turn my blocker off I will click on every popup I see? I just get annoyed. Now I ahve to turn the program off every time I want to visit this site=Not as many visits as before.

This was a huge disappointment. Show som respect that I don't want to see popups

Firstly calm down.

Secondly u can enter sites into yr pop up killer that will allow pop ups, so put this site into it.

Thirdly swamper is a surfer himself, and so are we, if we can stand one pop up to help this great site stay open then i dont mind

Think before u post, yr attitude stinks sometimes

lol, too funny... practice what you preach beamish. you probably wouldn't be able to visit this site at all if it weren't for pop-ups.

I really don't see how 2 or 3 pop ups can cause so many damn threads . .
If u have cookies enabled, you will only get 2 or 3 pop ups when u first enter the site, and it takes all of what 3 seconds to close them ? oooo such a hardship, such a terrible price to pay, 3 seconds of your time to be able to surf a quality site.

think about places like yahoo or warez sites that bomb u with pop up after pop up or when u click a link that activates a whole series of pop ups.
U got to remember that Swamper is a net surfer too, he don't like pop ups any more than we do but it's a fact of life, sites like this cost money to run, maintain, keep fresh and if a pop up or two helps keep this site going, then i sure dont mind a couple of them when i first log in.

The popups are hardly bad, they help pay for the site, and as fly says, u can enter safe sites into your killer, so calm!

why would you whine and complain about something that generates revenue for a site that you frequent often? i don't understand the reasoning behind that.

ever heard of sacrificing a little for a greater good? it really isn't that hard.

come on, it aint that bad at all, once ur in the site you are in and you dont get pops until the next time u come back..

Now the 6th thread about this.

Nobody is making you click on the ad. You can easily hit Alt+F4 and close the window.

and then preferably Alt+F4 again to shut down your computer.

stop whining. some of these pop ups are intereting. i just wish i had clicked on that one one time when it was intereting to me. now i dont see it anymore

Yet another lack of respect for what Swamper does here, Believe me I used to think it'd be so easy for no popups & shit, but when I joined the ivibes crew & got to know how much work and effort the people who run such sites have to put in daily, it made me appreciate it a whole lot more and now I just shut them down and don't think twice about it, I know there are some sites that can be shit with 5-10 popups but one or two aint bad, its no worse than junk mail or telesales calls u get, infact its not even that bad

FOR GOD SAKES STOP WHINING!!!!
it's one ad for god sakes!!!!!!
and not a bad one too........ there was this one ad that offers you to watch "battle of the sexes" it was hilarious!!!!!!
and most of the times when I enter this site, I click the ad......
if it helps keeping this site going, I'm willing to provide 5 seconds of my life every time I come here........
and besides, the ad only appears once when you first enter...... then you can surf freely without ads untill next time you come in.......
so grow up, and stop whining!!!
cry baby
