I mean comon...most people don't care about a "free tshirt" especially when it's false and they always slow down my computer. they're really annoying i get sooo frustrated. banners are okay because theyre just there they dont popup..BUT they are very tempting to click on expecially when it says "shoot the thing" or something lol i find it fun..

I feel the same, banners are OK too me too. I hate pop-ups, they're annoying. Thanks Firefox with it adblock plug-in, I can control the pop-ups better.

I agree. Most of the pop-ups I see show something about working and living in the U.S. or that the computer has a "problem" (at least these are the most common ones). If I had a choice, I'd take a banner ad over a pop-up anyday. Besides, it's scary to think that some of these pop-ups could even install nasty spyware/adware without the user even knowing it.

Yep, Totally agree there. But i guess those pop-up makers only need people to click on 2-3 % of their ads. Thank god, now we have pop-up blocker on computer. Pop-ups are nasty sometimes... spywares, adware, virus etc.

I have to agree totally and one of the great things that's come out of the popup blocking that browsers are doing is changing the way flash sites are designed. no more simple intro pages and flash poping in a dif window. which i think is great! Now if only people would just get out the intro movie.

Of course they are useless if you donīt buy what they offer... but for me the 99% of TV advertisements are useless too. And that doesnīt mean that they donīt work.
I use to prefer banners but now that we can block pop ups... let the popups be  I donīt care, I donīt see them.

To us relatively normal folk, yes they are 100% useless. But the sad fact is...if NO ONE ever clicked on them and whatnot, they wouldn't have gotten this popular and would not sitll be around. Some idiots must actually goto them and get there money ripped from there pockets so that these ads actually have a reason for spawning as they do. Personally I havn't atually paid any attention to them ever since I realized how stupid they were years ago. Even banners rarely warrant a full read over. I can only shoot so many ipods and never actually receive one before I become skeptical
