Personally, I hate pop-ups. Even though I have AOL, and that blocks them, they can still be really annoying. The reason why I go for adless-webhosting is so my site members and visitors don't have to deal with that stuff. Not only are they annoying, but they make people want to come to your site even less, too. Anyone who say, is running I.E., and doesnt have the liberty of getting a popup blocker (say if you netsurf out of a library..) can get buried in popups. which really bites.

Many things depend on that which is advertised in pop-ups. Probably people don't like when they see erotic or porno info in pop-ups or when 3 pop-ups are loaded together in a moment And also good pop-ups mustn't be very big in size feature. But when pop-ups are loaded not only with index page - it's terrible! Do webmasters think people will go to that websites which are advertised. It's all what I want to say.

I did a little pop-up experiment.

I signed one of my sites up for Popuptraffic.com (a pay-per-impression popup ad network) for a month.

That site got 14,090 page views that month, and I put one pop-up on each page.

Did users complain?

Very few.
There are so many people with blockers so they didn't even notice any difference.

Of those 14,090 page views, only 238 of them actually saw a pop-up. That got me less than 50 cents. 50 cents was all I got for a MONTH's worth of popups.

Pop-ups are a waste of time, as they are not effective at all anymore. I use only text ads now, and I have made hundreds of times the money I did from that month of pop-ups.

I block popups and banners with firefox with the combination of a css/javascript thingie and the ad-block extension. I have never seen an ad since.

i am very happy that trap17 dont have popups as they are really annoying and since it is a web hosting site i think people would think that their website would have popups too.
WELL DONE ADMIN!!!!
