Outdoors OK what's up with Casino pop-ups and banners?
Most other stuff I can endure but when these cheesey Online Casino ads keep popping up everytime I click a link then that's it... I'm sorry but I can't take that.. Maybe one when I first hit the site but honestly who here iz gonna click on the damn thing anyway... Also the "You have 1 Message waiting for you!" ads are just as annoying.. like I'm gonna click on it thinking "Oh no I better check my banner messages!"

It ticks me off mostly because I don't want to see Techimo be like Yahoo everytime I click on a link a damn X-Cam pop-up proceeds to blowup on my screen...

Can we not find some better sponsers??

I haven't noticed any such ads. Are you sure your system hasn't got infected by adware?

I have gotten a lot of the you have new message pop-ups, if I get any casino ads I haven't noticed...By now I am used to it, and gettin' ready to get some ad away program.

i'm ambivalent towards the ads. They're necessary and i dont notice them, so they're ok to me.

/me reckons ppl expect somethin for nothin...

I'm getting it too...I've got adaware 5.62 installed on my machine, and it says that there isn't anything here.

BUT, I don't really care if TechIMO's doing it. RK, if that's the way TechIMO has to make ends meet this month, more power to them! (Just try not to make it a habit TechIMO )

Sad thing is when your on a slow machine (eg school machine) and it can barely run techIMO and a pop-up comes up and kills it!

Cat, I agree I get stopped for 20 secs while ythe pop-up loads... and yes it is from TechIMO because there is the corresponding banner ad when the pop-up pops up.
