Popup ads removed!

[Martin]

After having popups as the main source of income for a very long time, I have now, at least temporarily, disabled them across the whole Emulation64 network. I hope this comes as good news to everyone, and keep in mind the banners is what pays for the server bills, so don't ignore or block them please. :)

The Emulation64 network consists of nearly 100 sites and the server costs alone are almost $5000 US a year. Add domain fees, licenses, and other costs and you understand this organisation, which is of course non-profit, is difficult to keep alive.

I'd like to thank all our supporters through the years, visitors and staff. You all keep this possible. :flowers:

If you have a high quality website (doesn't have to be emulation related, but it's a plus) with its own domain, and more than 500 unique visitors per day, you are eligible to join our free webhosting service! Your site is hosted on our new Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz, 1024 MB RAM, 80 GB HD, RedHat 9, Plesk 6, on a dedicated 100 Mbit/s line.

A single 468x60 banner (industry standard) is required on top of all your pages, but no other advertisement, such as popups or skyskrypers are required. Send your application to martin at emulation64 dot com.

EmuTalk hasn't had any popups in a long time, but all the other sites in the network have. Blocking popups is up to each and every one of you, I don't blame you for doing so. It's not a very supportive thing to do though, if you care about a site.

[Trotterwatch]

I have all the individual emu64 network sites in the exclusion list of the firebird popup stopper, alongside the adserver itself. I have occasionally had popups on network sites - to be honest I don't mind them.

Dito here, although I have only excluded them on some of the pages, emutalk, emu64 etc... But 5k is a lot of money so perhaps you should enable them anyway :D

I've got all the ads blocked also (go Firebird! I can't wait for the new adblock to get finished), but I still click on them occasionally. :D

ditto... Haven't seen pop-ups here 'cause I use firebird.

Speaking of which, where is the donate button? Either I'm blind or it's missing.

whats in the new adblock? It seriously covers everything I can possibly think of in its current state.

[Knuckles]

I only got popups sometime on ET with the dark emutalk style. good thing the google toobar stops them :)

I mean a 0.5 final. I haven't tried the development builds yet, so I can't comment on them.

While I'm willing to support a great number of sites, the use of popups in general across the web has forced me to turn to poup blocking software for all sites.

It's just not worth the hassle to deal with popups period.

[Clements]

I don't use any ad-blocking software since most of the sites I go to do not have pop-ups anyway, and as I'm on 56K I can close them before they even load up.
