I don't think pop ups are bad. I think they're horrible. Especially when you have adware and alot of pop ups pop on your screen and you try closing them but they keeping popping up and the stupid computer pop up blocker won't work very good and these download things comes up. whatever. pop ups are no good. I think its just the dumbest thing people invented. No body wants to view pop ups.

Agreed. Popups are really stupid and no one ever pays attention to them. Once I got one that said I was the 7389254th visitor, then I reloaded the page and got one that had a lower number. <3 Firefox's popup blocker.

i think popups are simply there to annoy people. a banner is one thing, but a pop-up, especially the kind that take up half the page as in yahoo geocities, they really make you want to shoot someone. thanks to firefox i haven't had hardly any popups annoying me. IE was a popup nightmare. and then you'd hit these nasty ones that would open up 40 or 50 windows and wouldn't let you close them, so you had to kill the whole set of IE processes. aaaahhhh! Thank God Firefox came along!

Pop-ups are pretty annoying, but that IE thing you're talking about isn't a pop-up...It's some sort of error in IE. If it weren't for pop-up blockers (Such as Firefox), I'd be really annoyed. Pop-ups are also a waste of money for the advertisers. Most people don't even click them, so why even bother placing a pop-up on your site?
...Well, you still earn money if they pay you for pop-ups. Pop-unders are also a big pain, though... |

Pop-Ups/Pop-Unders are the worst thing to hit the web since the "luv bug virus", and it's true, what can be good about distracting web pages with false ads interupting a site veiwers experience, nothing can be good about it, there is no logic behind them anymore, they used to server purpose as confirmation messages, vbut now they are mainly what I described above, but are browser friends often now come with Pop-up blockers, so they aren't too bad anymore...

I used to get annoyed with pop-ups, specially in thaty kind of "underground" places where you get lots and lots of windows and you get overloaded. But since Mozilla came into play for me is the less disturbing kind of advertisement...
I donīt even know when a website has popups because the browser blocks them and so, I donīt have to worry about it. |

I would like to kill the guy who has used it for the first time... I'm using Mozilla so it has its own anti-popup which is very nice... it has never desapointed me... but when I'm not using my Mozilla or when I hear one specific sound (I have configured my Mozilla to do a sound when a popup is blocked) I get angry with that website... But I hate when I access one website and it shows up that javascript (I guess) screen... what the hell!!! "Please VOTE!!!"... affffff... it's so boring!!!!! There are some cases on which the designer is dumb so he doesn't know trap17 and has a host with popup... what can I say to those newbies?
