Czarina Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 These stupid popups are driving me crazy today. Would you like to take a survey? I've only been here for about 10 minutes total time today and have had this stupid thing pop up to me at least 5 times. Link to comment

BillyBalata Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I've been hearing about this survey thing for a while now. But using Firefox and the Adblock Plus, I have never had the pleasure of seeing it. Not once, on two computers. The other day I was over at a friends house who had the huddle up. He has FF but not the adblock. Yea, that survey thing is annoying. Link to comment

Czarina Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 I get that, but I feel strongly that I (there it is again!) shouldn't have to alter my computer to avoid this crap. Especially for a site that I pay membership for. If I'm a shopping site or something, I tend to expect it. But this is different. Link to comment
Czarina Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 I think I'll bump this thread today every time I get the survey thing. I have a feeling it's going to be at the top of the page all day. Of course, if I were to do something like that, would I be considered a spammer? Link to comment

Czarina Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Fair is fair. They're spamming (AGAIN!) me with this crap. Link to comment

Chavez Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I bet Dave and Whitney are thrilled you are slapping down their ad revenue. Link to comment
whoopazz Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I'm not getting any popups using FF Link to comment
Puddy Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I bet Dave and Whitney are thrilled you are slapping down their ad revenue. I have actually clicked on an ad or two since the Huddle started the banner ads. I think they agree that the popup stuff isn't cool however. Link to comment

Because while you pay for "The Huddle.com," the message boards are free. Link to comment

Czarina Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Wait, is it HERE or on the main page? Because while you pay for "The Huddle.com," the message boards are free. Fair enough. It continues to anger me, however. If I get slapped for complaining, so be it. Link to comment
